| Mingela |
This is a small railway junction town that refused to die, and is now more well known for its rodeo events. It is located on the Townsville-Charters Towers road, at the top of the Mingela Range, where the road turns off to Ravenswood. Originally there was a rail link to Ravenswood, and Mingela was then known as Ravenswood Junction. Now it is a scattering of houses perched at the top of the escarpment.
All graves are included irrespective of date.
