Yaamba is about 60 km north of Rockhampton, on the main highway to Mackay.
It now consists of a pub and a truckstop, but in days past it was the place where northbound travellers crossed the Fitzroy River before moving west or north as desired. The cemetery is barely 100m from the road and is somewhat overgrown. There are a few modern graves, so it is presumed this cemetery is in current use. All stones found have been recorded. For those who feel confused, there is another Yamba in NSW... 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.
