Sights in Bourke

  1. A

    Bourke’s Historic Cemetery

    Bourke’s Historic Cemetery is peppered with epitaphs saying ‘perished in the bush’, and tells a thousand stories about the many cultures and creeds buried here. Professor Fred Hollows, the eye surgeon who was determined to help restore the sight of people going needlessly blind, is buried here, after his decades of work in the region.
