Cracow Headstones, Queensland, Australia

Cracow

Cracow is located SE of Theodore, NW of Maryborough. It is a small mining town which is currently enjoying a new lease of mining life. It is an underground mine driven through the ridges and has recently been fortunate that the years of development bore fruit exactly when the price of gold climbed dramatically.

The cemetery I found is a relatively modern one located in the valley to the east of the ridgetop township.
