The cemetery is located on the western slope of Queensland and is accessed through a stabilized road. It was used from the first day of the battle until the day of the Allies’ withdrawal.

The cemetery has a height of 80 m and was built over a sinuous area of around 1,500 m2 . The seaside slope of the cemetery (that views the sea through Hell Spit) has faced much erosion. The upper slope was covered by a retaining wall, and trees were planted accordingly. The memorial and the retaining wall behind are located on the upper side of the cemetery. Hence, the memorial can be accessed by several stone stairs. The following is inscribed on the front side of the wall of the memorial: “At this spot, the troops of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) came ashore at dawn on 25 April 1915”.

The cemetery located on the western slope of Queensland was used from the first day of the Anzac landing almost until the time of withdrawal. Buried here are 391 soldiers who died during the War of 1914-1918. Of these soldiers, 285 are Australian, 20 are British, 21 are New Zealanders and 3 are Ceylonese. The remaining 21 soldiers are unknown. The names of the 10 Australians and 1 New Zealander, of whom there is evidence of their burial in the cemetery, are written on special tablets.
