West Terrace Cemetery has been a feature of Adelaide since Colonel William Light laid out the city in 1837. Now this mini-metropolis of marble and slate reveals much, if not more, of city’s character than some of the more famous city attractions. Discover the many captivating and long-forgotten stories of its inhabitants on a guided tour or by exploring one of the free self-guided walking trails.

If you like cemeteries, you'll like this one. Such a lot of local history here. Plenty of explanatory plaques, and a touch screen to find particular graves. Many significant historical persons buried here, and also some lovely old gravestones and epitaphs.

If you are interested in seeing the war section of fallen then this a place to go. A little sad to see the names and ages. Very well maintained

Reviewed By PeterE466 - Adelaide, Australia
A few years back I went to Kanyaka Ruins in the Flinders Ranges in SA with my two grandsons and I knew instantly I had to come back and show my wife and my international students this stark reminder of climate change more than a century and a half ago when plentiful rains and water filled all the creeks and water holes in this "lush" part of the Flinders Ranges in South Australia which gave great hope and inspiration to the early settlers. One man from a very distinguished family in England (his father was an admiral who fought with Nelson) poured huge amounts of money into this amazing country when he saw it at its best. Then the drought struck and all the effort had been in vain. My suggestion to anyone planning to visit this area is do some research before you get there so that you can understand the enormity of the station, venture and loss. The international students I took where were transfixed by the vastness of everything including the financial ruin (one is a Masters student in finance !) Do go there! Don't forget your camera and do some light research before you go there and it will be even more fascinating
