Statement of Significance
The cemetery is an important site, historically, for the town of Nyabing, where many of the early pioneers have been buried. A visit to the cemetery can build a picture of the history of the town (and shire) by following the names and dates inscribed on each headstone.

The gateway is constructed from random field stone approximately 1200mm high, flanking a pair of white iron gates with words Nyabing (l.h.s.) and Cemetery (r.h.s.). The cemetery is simple in for with cream brick ashes wall in the north-west corner and two benches of wooden slates and iron frame.
