Land for the Greta Public Cemetery was first 'Gazetted' in July 1869. The first burial occurred in March of 1871, three-month-old baby, Ellen Gunn, the child of Alexander and Annie (nee Kelly) Gunn. Life in rural Victoria was full of natural perils. In November 1871, 22-year-old Mounted Constable John Alexander Duff left the Greta Police Station to collect the mail. He was thrown from his horse on the return journey and killed. He was buried in an unmarked grave in the corner of the Cemetery. In 2019 a headstone was unveiled and dedicated in a Ceremony attended by descendants, the Victorian Police Commissioner, local members and many district residents. The headstone was placed by the Victorian Police Historical Graves Committee. On the right-hand side of the gate is a monument, dedicated to the memory of William Petty. Petty joined the Victorian Bush Contingent and went to South Africa to fight in what would be known as the 'Boer War'. He contracted dysentery, died, and is buried in Pretoria, South Africa. The local community raised money for a what is now a recognised war memorial in his name. In 2013 Ned Kelly's remains were laid to rest in an unmarked grave. The Cemetery is the final resting place for many of his family and friends and a memorial marker has been placed at the front gate.

The Stan Allan Reserve is situated by the King River's banks, next to the Snow Road, at the western entrance to Oxley. It serves as the town's gateway and is a beloved recreational spot and natural treasure in the community. Back in the mid-1970s, when a new bridge was constructed and the road was realigned, the Oxley Residents' Association put in an effort to develop the Reserve into a pleasant spot for picnics, fishing, and a popular swimming hole for local families. The Reserve was named after Stan Allan, a pioneer in Oxley who was actively involved in the river's upkeep and the growth of the Oxley township. Since its inception, the Reserve has continued to draw locals and visitors to the region. The Reserve is the only spot in town that provides easy access to the river for swimming, thanks to its gently sloping sandy bank. Picnic tables are used daily by travelers, workers, and locals to enjoy a break and take in the stunning riverside view. It's the ideal spot to take a breather before heading out to explore the wonders of the Milawa Gourmet Region. (Please note that overnight camping is not permitted.)
