Gibbons Camp - Gatton Shire

This shows a map of the location, and there is a today a gazetted road to there.
Visiting the site there is indeed a 'road' which is today a track along one edge of a paddock, with barbed wire fence. The track ends abruptly and this is where the burial ground was expected to be found. The fencing according to the GPS coordinates would appear to encompass the burial ground. The area at the end of the track, and looking into the field where the burial area was expected yielded no evidence of any remaining memorials.

The above book says the burial ground operated from 1867-1870. Using sources from QFHS there is a list of names (below) and the age, cause of death, date of death and place of death.
