Chinese sections in cemeteries

As non-Christians Chinese burials were commonly placed in separate sections variously labelled Chinese Section, Aliens, Pagans or even Strangers.

Usually placed to the side or back of a cemetery these sections are now often bare ground as early wooden markers deteriorated or burned in bushfires. Sometime even stone markers have been removed by locals. In more recent times local groups as well as Chinese based organisations have erected memorials to the Chinese buried in these sections. Names are sometimes added to such memorials from either the burial registers or death records.
