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.

Originally opened in 1882 as a gaol, the buildings sat idle for some years until in 1915 it was commandeered as an internment camp by the Defence Department for prisoners of war and enemy aliens interned for the duration of the First World War. An unknown number of burials took place in the burial ground which was located in a sandy area slightly south of the gaol of which no evidence of graves can be seen today, other than a memorial built by former enemy internees on Memorial Hill which memorialises the death of 5 prisoners and is atop the bodies of three of these men.
