Yorta Yorta Interfaith Service

Cummeragunja Cemetery needs your expertise and help

At the end of March, we invite you to come along and help clean up the Cummeragunja Cemetery and pay your respects to the Yorta Yorta Nation Aboriginal ancestors. In 1883 local Aboriginal community were brought together and the Cummeragunja mission was established. Since that time there have been many great decendents of Yorta Yorta Nations buried there. This is an opportunity to pay our respects.
