The other unusual section was the “Chinese and Strangers” who were allocated a spot in the far southern end of the cemetery. Indeed there are 7 Chinese buried here which attest to a long association with this district. Five of the men drown in Ovens River during a flood in 1878 and the others from disease and old age. Four of their tombstones remain in lonely isolation.
