There is a cemetery close to Chiltern called the Ulina Private Cemetery.
It is on what is/was? Ulina Station. There are possibly 26 graves there
with the names - Chandler, Withers, Munroe, Maynard and Pleming plus others
unknown.
I think only one grave has an actual headstone. The Cemetery is fenced and
can be reached across a paddock.
I have a photo of the grave headstone and also a decaying notice board. I
also have a list of names of the known burials there..
Maybe someone is searching for these names and this could be of some
assistance.
Regards
Rae .
