About this place
What to expect
On the way to Stringybark Creek and add a meaningful stop at the Heller Historic Grave, a quiet place where local history comes to life. Set among the peaceful bushland, the grave is a memorial to Emma Sophia Heller (1848–1889), a 19th century immigrant and early settler whose story offers a moving glimpse into life in the region's early days. Take a moment to read the interpretive signage and discover more about her remarkable life, the challenges she faced and the resilience of those who helped shape this part of north-east Victoria. It is a simple but rewarding detour for history lovers, curious travellers and families looking to add a little extra depth to their country drive.
