"The Back Cullen Cemetery was part of the original land grant given to Robert Dulhunty in 1824. In 1840, due to the Depression, Sir John Jamison acquired the property and held the title until his death in 1844. In 1844 the land was leased to John McLean who set aside the land for a cemetery and paid for the first grave in the cemetery in which John Tyass is interred. John Tyass was a convict who worked for John McLean. When John Tyass died, John McLean paid for his grave out of respect and for services given."
The cemetery has views over lush pastures.
