FRANK HALLORAN PARK


The site of Frank Halloran park is an old cemetery.

My grandmother Jessie Mackie was a nurse at Gulgong Hospital in the early 1900s and told me of a story of an epidemic that hit the town, lots of deaths and 17 people were buried in that site in one week.
A subsequent huge fire decimated the cemetery crosses.
