Municipal Inventory	Adopted	18 Mar 2003	Category 4	Category 4 Significant but not essential to an understanding of the history of the district: photographically recorded prior to any major redevelopment or demolition.

Statement of Significance

The place is significant as it is a burial site - one of a number of lonely graves in the
Shire.

Physical Description

The exact site is not know. Spencer Patterson, the owner of Manna Flats (& Whatanine)
became ill with pneumonia and was hospitalised in Perth in the 1960's.

A working bee putting in his crop demolished remnants of the site, not realising its
significance.

It is believed to be south of Whatanine Soak (1/2 km) on sandy soil, probably between the
dam and the gully which is now replanted with trees.

History

The land around Whatanine Soak had been taken up by Henry and Mary Jane (nee
Blackmore) Bradbury. They raised a family of 11 children in their house built of upright
sheoak slabs pugged with mud.

This house was'burned to the ground and Lizzie (a daughter) and her child perished in the
fire.
