Bulli Anglican Church, originally known as St. Augustine's, has continuously operated as an Anglican church since 13 December 1882. It all began when faithful Christians in the Northern Illawarra responded in large numbers to the Bulli Tent Missions of 1877 and decided a new church should begin. They gathered their wits and resources and built first a graveyard and then a church at 66 Park Road Bulli" (see Bulli Anglican Church website).
The first headstone in the graveyard dates back to 1878/79 and lies outside today's cemetery fence to the west.
When the railway line from Sydney to North Kiama was built in the 1880s, part of the graveyard became railway property. Many headstones from this land were relocated to St. Augustine's church yard. Since they all are in excellent condition, it is possible that many older and potentially illegible headstones did not get transferred.
Bulli Anglican Cemetery contains the graves of most of the miners killed in the Bulli mine disaster of 23rd March 1887 in which 81 men and boys lost their lives.
