It appears to have been established in the mid-1960s and now contains about 3,000 inscriptions.
The digital images were made by Paul Fitzgerald who visited the cemetery on numerous occasions between November 2007 and January 2008. The list of inscriptions was also compiled by Paul, with reference to the NSW BDM online search facility and the Australian War Memorial Nominal Rolls for both WW1 and WW2 for additional information.
