Physical Description
Located on the South Western Highway and entered through an open gateway with brick piers and an unsealed driveway. The cemetery is enclosed by green railings. It is set within a semi-bush setting with a few trees and bushes scattered around the cemetery itself and the boundaries surrounded by dense planting. There are a couple of formal rose gardens.
History
A reserve for the Harvey Cemetery was created in 1911 and managed by a board of trustees. The area was amended in 1917 and in 1921 the reserve was vested in the Harvey Road Board. Many of the early settlers of the district have been interred here and the headstones bear the names of many of the district’s well known citizens. The cemetery continues to be used in addition to the Harvey Lawn Cemetery on Forestry Road which has been established in recent years.
