The first settlement in the Sandstone district was Nungarra, which was established as the prospecting settlement of the 'Black Range' area, as Sandstone was originally known.

In 1906 it had become apparent that this was not the best site for the town due to insufficient water for the growing population. Many of the miners were choosing to live about 10km to the north-east where larger and richer mines were opening up. This area became known as Sandstone, the town of which was gazetted in September, 1906. Many of the buildings in Nungarra were moved into the new town.

Directions:
The Cemetery is in the Shire of Sandstone and is approximately 12 kms from the Sandstone townsite on an active Mining lease. The Cemetery is hard to find, and graves are overgrown in the bush.

There are four marked graves here, one that is unreadable, and possible unmarked graves.
