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.

This disused cemetery is located on the bank of the Wannon River and can only be reached on foot. There are very few headstones remaining, but there is a sign near the gate listing the known burials.

In 1879-80 there was a local diphtheria epidemic which claimed many lives, including whole families. Mr Graham, third headmaster of the Wannon National School, drowned in the Wannon River in 1855, adjacent to the cemetery site.
