Hundreds of outback burial sites uncovered by Dave 'the Grave' Hunter

Key points

• More than 300 burials have been located in each of the Menindee and White Cliffs cemeteries in far-west New South Wales. Dave Hunter used ground-penetrating radar, contracted by the Central Darling Shire Council, to find the graves without digging.
• The council's cemetery officer, Tammie McMaster, is now working to identify the people buried in the unmarked graves. The council is considering repeating the project in Wilcannia and Tilpa.
• Ms McMaster said the work matters for future cemetery planning and for honouring the dead and their families.
