At the entrance, a board erected by the North Stradbroke Island Historical Museum reads, "Final Resting Place of 8,426 Dunwich Benevolent Asylum Inmates.
Although a large majority of the graves are unmarked, slumped or sunken and some of the headstones are crumbling, incomplete or no longer legible, the Cemetery is well worth a walk through for the history it contains.
Situated within the Cemetery is the "Asylum Inmates Memorial". :Emigrant Commemorative Plaque, and the graves of medical staff and 2 Brisbane doctors, who died during the typhus plaque that broke out on the sailing ship Emigrant on its route from England to Australia.
