It is now thought that there are 19 graves on the sand hill and that five graves are behind the hotel. Research is being undertaken to name the persons buried there. There are no headstones - only some rolled up wire and broken picket fences under some pepper trees.

Some  graves are thought to be of :

Henry Geyer, 1905. Licensee of the hotel 1887-1905.

Margaret Geyer 1908.

Licensee of the hotel 1905 until her death.

The Hotel was closed soon after.

Old Polia-Greenvale Cemetery

 I attended a ceremony on the 'Protection and Recognition of Old Polia-Greenvale Cemetery in December 2003.The cemetery is on Greenvale Station which is off the old Pooncarie Road between Menindee and Pooncarie. There were more than 60 people present.

 The cemetery was registered on 7th April 1916. In the McLean grave lies John McLean who died 27^th April 1849 aged 25 years. A story handed down over the years says he was speared by aborigines. He is believed to be the oldest known European person buried on the Darling.

The other name is William McLean who died 28^th October 1869.

Annie Page (nee Munro) 1925. She was the wife of Charles Robert Page of Greenvale  It is thought that there could be more than 25 people buried there.

Polia was a very large property before it was broken up into blocks. The 1881-2 Wentworth Electoral Roll stated 34 people (all men - women could not vote in those days) were listed for Polia.
