Elsey Memorial Cemetery, located 20 kilometres south of Mataranka off the Stuart Highway, is of national and Territory historical significance primarily because it provides the remaining link with many of the individuals made famous by Jeannie Gunn's book We of the Never Never. The Cemetery remains as a tribute not only to those pioneers of the pastoral industry but also to Jeannie Gunn, who portrayed the NT Outback in a manner which captured the imagination of a nation.
