Summary

Grave of Walter Gill, a Scotsman formerly of Galashiels, a pioneer squatter who leased Warraweena Station from Sir Thomas Elder. [He died at Owienagin Gap on 7 November 1858 while travelling to Port Augusta. His grave was fenced in with pine saplings by his companions and a rock from the creek bed was placed as a headstone. (See Austin, p.42, "Mines of South Australia".) Since this picture was taken, the fence has been removed and a conventional gravestone marks the spot. Information provided by Peter Gill.]
