War Nurses Memorial GardenPrint Page 
The gardens commemorate the service of nurses during times of war in conflicts in which Australia has been involved. Lawns and seating are surrounded by roses, with a number of commemorative plaques placed around the bronze fountain honouring their contributions.
A bust of local Kapunda woman and nurse, Vivian Bullwinkle is a feature and contains a plaque listing the names of nurses who have lost their lives in conflicts since the South African (Boer) War.
