This website is dedicated to the memory of my two dear friends Sandy Duncan and Shyama Peebles who both passed away in 2012.

Because of Burbanks close proximity to Coolgardie, many of the weddings of the local people took place there.

The first wedding in the church was that of Henry Jones and Jane Letitia Howe in 1903.
