Return to Ballina

Located immediately over Missingham Bridge from Ballina. The Ballina

cemetary was originally established here due to to the high ground.

The first recorded burial in old East Ballina cemetery is that of Pearson

Simpson on 26th May, 1853. In 1915 graves were transferred to the new

Ballina cemetery.

It was not until 1963 that this Pioneer Park was established under a special

act of Parliament. The old headstones are being used to create a historic walk.

Owing to the large number of shipping disasters, many sea captains and crew

were buried within this cemetery - a grim reminder of Australia's historic

past.
