The entrance to this cemetery is directly opposite to what is now a Wedding Chapel, the former Roman Catholic Church, St Patrick's of Nulkaba. While the cemetery 'fronts' Wine Country Drive, the entrance is from Kerlew Street.

From the Cessnock City Council Website: (visit link)
"Cessnock is closed except for existing reservations and re-opening of existing burial plots."

The Cessnock Cemetery is located just off of Wine Country Drive, Cessnock. The original monumental cemetery at Cessnock is divided into denominational portions and contains monuments dating from 1800.

While the Australian Cemeteries Index website has some 245 Inscriptions recorded, I believe that this would be of only one part of this extensive cemetery. (visit link)

Even the "Billion Grave" website (visit link) which has x 439 images, and x 716 records, has a lot of gaps in the aerial depiction of where they are taken from.
