This was the first Wyndham cemetery established in 1886, operating until 1929. In the early days it was known as "The Bend Cemetery", being built on a bend. It was closed due to lack of space and erosion caused by high tides in the nearby Cambridge Gulf. Many Wyndham Meatworks employees were buried here, often in unmarked graves.

During this time Afghan deaths had a separate cemetery located near the "6 Mile", being the second cemetery in Wyndham operating from 1917 - 1944. The third cemetery was established in "The Gully" in 1922. The most recent, current and fourth cemetery in Wyndham was established in 1968.
