Neranie Cemetery Walk Myall Lakes

This interesting little walk is not far from Seal Rocks on the New South Wales Mid-North Coast. Around an hour and 45 minutes north of Newcastle, the Neranie Cemetery Walk is a good spot to stop for a break. The sign for the start of the walk is old and hard to see, but is just after the turn off to the Neranie camp ground.

The 350m walk to the cemetery is uphill and was overgrown with long grass when we visited. Although we didn’t see any snakes, they might be a problem on a hot day if the grass is long.

The remaining monuments in the cemetery date from the late 19th to early 20th century, which coincides with the time a sawmill operated in the area. Now abandoned and heritage listed, it has a great view over the Myall Lakes.

This was an easy walk with an interesting cemetery at the end. Parking was easy in a small, cleared area, but it’s an easy place to miss if you are not careful.
