The cemetery is significant for its connection with well known people in Broome and in the history of the North, such as Matthew Forrest and Pemberton Walcott. It is attractively sited and of interest to tourists.
The cemetery was established before 1884 - this is the date of the earliest marked grave, that of Mattew Forrest, a brother of Lord Forrest. It is located on a small promontory and has become an interesting piece of landscape in the midst of an area of tourist activity
