This
magnificent compilation is the culmination of some twenty years of research
and lists all details of lonely graves of Western Australia collected
since the 1986 publication Lonely Graves of Western Australia and
Burials at Sea.
An absolutely essential handbook for all outback historians and genealogists. Cross indexed. It does not replace Lonely Graves of Western Australia and Burials at Sea nor W.A. Burial Locality Index. The alpha listing is 426 pages with appendices on unidentified lonely graves (26pp), supplement records (12pp), medical terms (8pp), surname cross indices (30pp), ship index (2pp) and place name index of 19 pages. The authors are fifth generation Australians
from a farming background at Margaret River. They grew up experiencing
the end of an old era - pre-refrigeration, electricity and scheme
water. Their interest in Western Australian history was kindled
from the pioneer life of their grandparents in the south west.
