Today was overcast with the sun peaking through the clouds every so often but not enough for the intrepid two to set off for a drive to Sofala with a stop off at Wattle Flats along the way. My plan was to document some of the gravesites at the local cemeteries.
The cemetery at Sofala is located high on the hill above Sofala, as you drive in to Sofala from Bathurst. There are at least 181 known persons located here of mixed denomination and there are many more now unknown graves. Death register records indicate that the real number of interments would exceed 300. This cemetery contains the only known Chinese grave, but we didn't find it. This cemetery is still currently in use.
