 A survey in 1954 indicated that the cemetery, while well fenced in and stockproofed, had been used for only three burials in recent years.No accounts or books were being kept and the general condition was only fair.Efforts were made to improve the condition through a "beautification and tree planting" program in the 1950s, which included the planting of the scattered spotted gums (Corymbia maculata) and brush box (Lophostemon confertus) that give the site much of its identity today.
