Rolleston is a small township on the road west from Moura to Springsure, about 45 km from Springsure.
The area is notable for scenic highlands just to the south where sandstone gullies contain Aboriginal paintings and treeferns simmilar to the ponga of New Zealand. The cemetery is beside the airstrip and only a hundred meters from the tiny township. Close by is the Rolleston coal mine and the Great Australian Dividing Range separating rolling hill country from flat plains to the west. We have now gone to a live on-line database called MOP ('Myra's Other Place') and the records listed below are steadily being copied over. Once a record is there a green tick will show alongside the entry. The MOP database has a lot more than just cemetery records and is worth checking out here where you can log in as Guest password guest.
