Cemetery

Morawa Pioneer Cemetery 1919-1930.
The cemetery was opened on the 24th September, 1919 at Reserve No.17311 Morawa, Lot 50.
Although the last burial was in 1930, the cemetery was never officially closed.
In November 1973 the Morawa District Historical Society gained permission from the Shire to erect a fence around the graves and to erect a plaque.
This brass plaque lists the names, ages and dates of death of the known occupants of the cemetery and is attached to a large upright stone on the northern side of the entrance.
Of the twelve known graves there is only one that identifies the occupant by means of a broken headstone and inscription.
