The cemetery is of social and historical significance in the early development of the district.
The cemetery lies north of Great Eastern Highway, with access from Giles Road,
approximately 1.5 km west of the hotel. The cemetery is not clearly defined. Half a dozen or so graves can be identified, in two main locations. Headstones and cast-iron grave surrounds remain in position, in a fair but slowly deteriorating condition. From information on the headstones most, if not all, burials occurred in the 1920s.
Themes: People - Early Settlers
