About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Now known as the Pioneer Cemetery, this area was close to the site chosen by Lt Percy Simpson for the convict settlement in 1823. The original site continued to be used as Wellington's general cemetery up until 1873, when the present general cemetery was opened across the road from it. The last recorded burial at the old site took place in 1905. In April 1932, the highway running between the old and new cemeteries was widened. Much of the old cemetery was resumed for this purpose, resulting in the loss of most of the headstones and grave markers. The present Mitchell Highway runs directly over the graves of many of the district's pioneers.
