Hike summary

Minmi Cemetery, only a 200m stroll from the park's main carpark, is a charming and fascinating piece of local heritage. Dating from the coal-mining boom of the mid-1800's, it tells its own story of the people who came to this place to try to make a living from its underground riches. Don't forget to visit the pretty Minmi Heritage Garden while you're here.
