earlier hotel built in 1860’s stood on the adjacent block.

Cemetery
Pioneer graves enclosed in the walled section near the side entrance. It is
thought that the cemetery also contains a number of unmarked Aboriginal
graves.
6.4 Indigenous Heritage
An estimated 1.4 percent of Streaky Bay’s population comprises of indigenous
persons. However little published information exists regarding indigenous
heritage, with the exception of some remaining artefacts.
Very preliminary discussions have been held with an indigenous representative
who is involved with the formulation of an Indigenous Land Use Agreement.
This agreement is under consideration through the National Native Title Tribunal.
It is understood that there are Aboriginal remains buried in the vicinity of Eyre’s
Waterhole, and it is thought that there may be a number of unmarked graves of
Aboriginal persons in the Cemetery Reserve. There are also old reserves in and
near Little Islands which could be relevant to indigenous culture.
