Wooroloo Cemetary was Gazetted 13 July 1906.
The earliest Burials date from 1915. When it was under the control of Wooroloo Sanatorium. The names found in the cemetary are of Yugoslavians, Irish, English,Scottish, german, Chinese, Japanese, Aboriginals.
The Sanatorium treated patients with a range of Pumonary deseases also a few leprosy patients, woman and younger persons were among the patients. Also many of the patients were miners whose lungs became infected while working on various goldfields also Returned soldiers WW1.
Quite a few Anzac graves ( Australian and New Zealand Army Corp) dated around 1915.
The majority of the graves associated with the Sanatorium are mounds identified simply by a cast iron marker bearing the plot number.
Wooroloo cemetary also has a strong association with past members of the local community.
