There is also this site for the local Council.  There is an email address and I'm sure they would happily do any lookups for you.  i.e. cemetery etc.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Sue and Chris,
There are actually pictures of Thomas's grave online at the Kanyakka Station history site. He got killed there.
Thanks for the Farina site as it was sort of the family"seat" so to speak back in the late 1800's. Great to have a look see at what it was like.
They all had TB so had to live in the outback to survive!!

PS just as a matter of interest my great grandpa William Kerrisk is listed on his marriage certificate as a camel driver at MT Lyndhurst station.
He was Irish born on Bermuda, came to Australia aged 30 yrs.
For years we thought he must be Aboriginal Afghan as they are generally known to be camel drivers.
Most shocked to find his roots in Bermuda to Irish parents !!!!
