Hawker Cemetery

The cemetery was first owned and maintained by a board of trustees until the Hawker Council took over the running of it in 1891. Sadly, the first burial was of a child aged three years.
The Flinders Ranges Council still maintains the cemetery and most records can be viewed at the Flinders Ranges Council offices in Quorn.
