Although in the district called the South Coast, Nowra is actually on the south eastern coast of the continent at the mouth of the Shoalhaven River and is on the Pacific Highway, 101 miles by road south-south-west of Sydney. During the war there was a Royal Naval Air Station and a Torpedo Bomber Training Establishment of the Royal Australian Air Force stationed at Nowra. The No 73 Squadron of the Royal Australian Air Force was for a time also stationed there while engaged upon reconnaissance and anti-submarine patrol. The War Cemetery is contained within the grounds of the General Cemetery. During the early part of the War the Military Authorities arranged for ground to be set aside especially for service war graves.
