White Cliffs is an historic opal mining area near Wilcannia in outback Western NSW. The population ranges from 100-200 residents, some of whom continue to mine for opal. The cemetery is located on Keraro Road, just out of town.
While there are over 500 interments in the cemetery, many of the oldest interments are unmarked and/or have rusty iron fences around them. The General Section at the rear of the cemetery is the most modern containing identifiable headstones. The local White Cliffs Bicentennial Committee has erected memorial plaques at the entrance to the cemetery listing the names of those interred, ages and date of death.
There is another much smaller Pioneer and Children's Cemetery located in the Pioneer Park, a few kilometres away.
All headstones at the White Cliffs General Cemetery were photographed in November 2020.
