The cemetery is located about 600m south of the centre of town at the corner of Wallace and Cowper Streets. The Old General Cemetery is on the southern side of Cowper Street while the Lawn Cemetery is on the northern side. "Burials at the cemetery commenced in 1840. The sections reflect the main Christian religious denominations of the town Presbyterian, some Methodist, Anglican, and Catholic. There are approximately 1300 memorials, 1440 graves, and the remains of approximately 2100 people. As with many Australian cemeteries of this age, graves and grounds show the ravages of time. Old and crumbling monuments contrast with some well preserved and maintained memorials.
