It is located 3 km south-east of Molong, Cabonne Shire, New South Wales, Australia and dates from 1852.

Yuranigh, originally from Boree, accompanied the Surveyor General of NSW, Thomas Mitchell on his fourth and final journey to the north-west of Australia.

A party of 29 white men and three Aboriginal people, one of whom was Yuranigh, departed from Boree on this journey on 15 December 1845, with equipment consisting of eight drays, 80 bullocks, two boats, three light carts, and enough provisions for a year.

Yuranigh's main contribution lay in his ability to negotiate with other Aboriginal people, through whose territory they passed, and in his extensive bush lore and knowledge of country, with which he advised Mitchell.

The grave has around its perimeter four carved trees, a sign by Aborigines that the buried person was worthy of special credit.

While the inscribed headstone indicates the "honour" bestowed on Yuranigh by Major Mitchell, to whom he acted as a guide on his famous last north west exploratory adventure.
