Manly Quarantine Station was used to house new arrivals to Australia who may have been carrying infectious diseases. The cemeteries contain the remains of those who succumbed to their illnesses.
The majority of deaths were the result of the bubonic plague in 1900 and the influenza/pneumonia epidemic in 1918-18.
There were 3 cemeteries. The First Cemetery operated from 1837 - 1853 and was at the junction of the wharf and hospital roads. No evidence of it remains other than the headstones that have been removed to the museum.
The Second Cemetery operated from 1853 - 1881 and is located east of the 3rd Class precinct. Three visible headstones and the outline of two other graves remain.
The Third Cemetery operated from 1881 - 1925 and is within the School of Artillery. It contains 241 burials. Unlike most cemeteries, where people are buried with their headstones facing east, the remains of 241 people known to be buried there between 1881 and 1925 face south towards the city skyline.
