Burra Cemetery
A copy of the Burra Cemetery Records is also held at the Burra Community Library, Bridge Terrace, Burra. Meredith Satchell has photographed 1600 headstones and has provided a copy of these to Council. These photographs are now being progressively added to the grave entries in the online cemetery records.
Booborowie Cemetery
A project undertaken by Booborowie Primary School has greatly enhanced our online information for graves at the Booborowie cemetery. With the assistance of community members and a grant through the Commonwealth History Project, all the headstones were photographed and the inscriptions transcribed and this information made available to Council and has been added to the Cemetery Search database. The students also produced a short introduction to the Cemetery and recorded how they went about preparing for and completing the project, both of which can be viewd by clicking on the links below.

Please note :
