LKA Gingin
The Last Known Address (LKA) series visits cemeteries around Western Australia and since its original conception by richlink, has since been harnessed by a number of cachers to provide a comprehensive tour of cemeteries throughout the state.
About Gingin Cemetery
A small area by St Luke's Anglican Church had served Gingin as a Cemetery during the 19th Century. By 1900 this was becoming crowded so an alternative site was selected away from the houses and the Brook. Six acres in Edgar's paddock was cleared in 1903 and the first burial took place there on the 19th of January 1904. It followed the death of Elizabeth May Dewar, infant daughter of W.F. Dewar.
The Cemetery is a high point overlooking Gingin town. Apart from head stones tracing the social history of the region, the Cemetery site is notable for its native vegetation, principally hybridated Kangaroo Paws which are unique to this site.
