Another point of history and interest is the grave - burial place of Yuranigh, a famous Aboriginal Australian who lived in this area. Yuranigh's life bridged the old and the new Australian cultures in the period from about 1820 until his death in 1850.
Yuranigh joined Surveyor-General Sir Thomas Mitchell's 1845 exploratory expedition at Boree - one of a series of ventures which mapped large areas of inland NSW and Queensland.
Described by Mitchell as "guide, companion and friend. ..his intelligence and his judgement rendered him so necessary to me that he was ever at my elbow. Nothing excaped his penetrating eye and quick ear.",
When Mitchell heard of his death, he paid for the headstone on his grave, which you will find just a short distance from Molong.
Yuranigh was buried according to custom with carved trees at each corner of his grave which indicate he was a man of special honour.
