Walcha General Cemetery

In the Wacha Cemtery you'll find the grave site for Nathaniel (Nat) Buchanan (1826-1901). He was a pastoralist and explorer, who was born near Dublin, son of Lieutenant Charles Henry Buchanan and his wife Annie, née White. Nat arrived in Sydney in January 1837 with his parents and four brothers, including William Frederick, and the family settled at Rimbanda in New England in 1839. Nat took to droving between New South Wales and the Victorian goldfields. Aged 70, he made his last big expedition, exploring land between Tennant's Creek and Sturt Creek in an effort to find a route from the Barkly Tableland to Western Australia.
