Almaden Cemetery
Mareeba Shire, Queensland, Australia

Submitted by Leighann Mansfield, Apr 12, 2008, last edited Apr 17, 2008 [leighannmansfield@bigpond.com]. Total records = 26.

Almaden is a small town approximately 100km west of Mareeba in Far North Queensland. Almaden is a railway siding on the "Savanahlander" which is the train travelling from Cairns west to Mt. Surprise and Forsayth. The cemetery is located on the Burke Development Road heading out of the main town area towards Chillagoe.

The oldest surviving headstone dates back to 1904 and the history is entwined in the Chillagoe and surrounding area history of mining. Explorers opened the area starting about 1845 and continuing till mining commenced in 1887.

Almaden Cemetery is owned and maintained by the Mareeba Shire Council, now part of the larger Tablelands Shire following the Shire amalgamations in March 2008.

I have transcribed this list from all visable headstones found when I walked the cemetery in early December 2007.
