Centennial Park: Powered by Memories, Stories and Decorated Pioneers

Centennial Park’s rich history of progression, innovation and passionate pioneers will be the focus of our guided tours for South Australia’s History Festival 2024.

In these 90-minute guided walking tours, discover the Park’s historical timeline and learn how we became a powerful influencer on cemetery development throughout Australia as a garden or ‘park like’ cemetery.

We’ll visit the resting places of prominent South Australians; hear their stories and the impacts they made in South Australia and our cemetery’s growth. Each attendee will receive a copy of ‘At The End Of The Road’ by Robert Nicol to take home. A hard cover book covering 160 years of cemetery progression, shedding light on the complexities of disposing human remains in South Australia.
