The Derby Pioneer Cemetery dates back to the early pioneering days and reveals the hardships of those times. A great many graves are without headstones but those there tell of hard and painful times. A tangible reminder of the story of the Aboriginal Jandamarra (Pigeon) can be seen on the gravestone of one of his victims, Constable Richardson. A booklet telling of the resistance of the Aboriginal people to the new settlers is available from the Derby Visitor Centre. Another significant grave is that of Larry Kunnamurra. Larry was a police tracker who worked with the Derby Police for over 40 years from the 1890's. In 1953 he was awarded a Queen's Coronation Medal for his services.
