Burial 1860 at Fiddler's Point N.S.W.

[suzyvan]

I have a Death certificate stating the person was buried at Fidler's Point near Taree.
 I cannot find any information on Fidler's Point, let alone a burial ground/Cemetery.  I am wondering could it be a lonely grave?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks Kaz

There are some Trove newspaper results that associate places or properties where the name includes Turee with a Fiddlers Point

Add - who is the death cert for?

TUREE Vale Cemetery    Coolah, 2843 NSW .... I am on E reader, so cannot do live links, but there is a heritage protection status on that cemetery - nsw govrnment listing. 

Hope there's clues there, otherwise could be couple of days before I can look up properly.

Thanks to Matthew and majm.
Is Turee and Taree the same place? It is Taree on death certificate.
The name is Patrick Carr He was killed in a horse and buggy Accident.
 
Fatal Accident.--Sunday last, when the down coach from Albury to Sydney was about 60 miles from the former place, the horses became unmanageable, and bolted ; after tearing along for some distance, the coach was dashed against a log, and completely smashed to pieces ; nor was this, unfortunately, the worst of the accident. The driver Patrick Carr, by name, formerly employed on Osborne's station, and well known at  Yackandandah, and received such injuries that he died from the effects of them.

NSW Death reg 3597/1860 Patrick CARR says 'Died Cassilis' which looks to be close to Turee Creek

More accounts of the accident. It was 3 miles from Kiamba. He was taken to Adams's Hotel - where was that?

Cassilis .... hundreds of miles north of  Albury and Taree is many more hundreds north ....

To get from ALBURY to Sydney by coach in 1860s you would NOT go anywhere near either TUREE or TAREE.  Even in this century there's around 7 hours driving from Sydney to ALBURY.

That is the mystery with this whole record. It was a mail coach from what I can understand and the registration at bmd NSW has been checking on it as well as the registration date is different to newspaper clipping and his wife's records.

I did google a while back and found that the coach did go north of Sydney across to Cassilis and down to Albury.
The coach had just been purchased from Bendigo. The witness was William Robinson/Robert Elliott
