Centenary of the Hawker Memorial Hospital
Originally named the Great Northern War Memorial Hospital, as a tribute to those who had served and died during World War I, the first foundation stone was laid on 7 June 1923 by Sir John Bice, a former Mayor of Port Augusta, and Chief Secretary.
You can come along to commemorate the centenary of Hawker Memorial Hospital on Saturday 11 November from 1.00 pm.
There will be a celebratory afternoon tea along with the unveiling of two monuments, a plaque, and an opportunity to visit the newly renovated Residents’ Lounge.
There will also be an exhibition held by the Hawker Memorial Auxiliary Committee, who are also celebrating 100 years of service to the community.
