Broome - Chinese Cemetery
Australia / Broome, Western Australia
Location ID: #10104332
Established in 1890, its cemetery is now a rarity because it comprises three non-Christian cemeteries, each demonstrating the influences of different burial customs - the distinctive geometric stones and the western face of the Japanese headstones; the double figure forms and north-south alignment of the Muslim grave sites; and the simple Chinese graves that face east.
