From the www.ozgenonline.com website - information provided by the Heraldry & Genealogy Society of Canberra:
The cemetery is made up of two clear portions Catholic and Church of England. There is also a Methodist and Presbyterian section but it is unclear where they are located as no headstones exist in those sections. The cemetery is a fine example of an Australian bush cemetery with gum trees and scrubby bushes growing between the graves.
Burials no longer take place in the cemetery and the last burial taking place in the 1960s. The earliest found record is dated 1868 with the earliest headstone dated 23 November 1891.
Many graves are unmarked and records have been located from various sources, such as newspapers, Register of Births Deaths and Marriage indexes, Death Certificates, Family History etc.
