Mount Morgan cemetery

The Mount Morgan Cemetery came into official use in 1889.

The most striking monument is the Linda Memorial, built in memory of the twenty-six miners killed in mine accidents in Mount Morgan between December 1894 and July 1909.

Linda Memorial		Chinese ceremonial burner

A well-preserved ceremonial burner, a heung lew or xiang lu, is one of few reminders of Mount Morgan's Chinese community. Built in 1890, this shrine is believed to be unique in Queensland. It was used for burning symbolic papers and offerings for the dead.
