Queen of our hearts, cradled in quiet earth - Milang remembers.


Milang Cemetery, Milang, South Australia.


Milang Cemetery was established in the late 19th century, during Milang’s growth as a river port and agricultural hub.


The cemetery reflects Milang’s quiet resilience and community spirit. Weathered headstones and modest plots speak to a history of working-class dignity, maritime ties, and rural heritage.

From Bradford to Burra - stone remembers the merchant’s son, laid low in a land far from home.


Burra Cemetery, Burra, South Australia.


Burra Cemetery is a heritage-listed site in the historic mining town of Burra, South Australia. Established in 1850, it replaced an earlier burial ground from 1846 and quickly became the final resting place for many of Burra’s early settlers, miners, and prominent families.


The cemetery’s iconic stone wall was built in 1854, enclosing a landscape rich with colonial history. Burra itself was a major copper mining center in the 19th century, and the cemetery reflects the town’s social and economic evolution—from Cornish miners to civic leaders.


Today, it remains a place of quiet reflection and historical significance.

In God she rests, in memory she lingers.


Buchfelde Cemetery, Anglevale, South Australia.


The area of Buchfelde was settled by German intellectuals from Berlin in the mid-19th century.


This cemetery, though modest in size, carries a quiet dignity and historical weight, especially for those drawn to the layered stories of migration, faith, and settlement.


The site contains traditional burials, including several from the 1890s, notably of the Winckel family.


A family monument was erected in August 2000 by descendants, honoring the early settlers.

Greenock Cemetery Cross


Greenock Cemetery, Greenock, South Australia.


Greenock cemetery was established in the mid-19th century, with the earliest formal burial recorded in November 1865. However, the oldest headstone belongs to a two-week-old baby, Sophie Ronnfeldt, who died in August of that same year.


In 1866, the Bevan family, who were the original owners of the land, conveyed ownership of the cemetery to local trustees for a nominal fee. The intention was for the allotments to eventually be transferred to the Corporation once Greenock became a Corporate Town.


The central feature of the cemetery is a large marble cross, which serves as a memorial for members of the Seppelt family, a prominent name in the Barossa Valley's history.

Beneath the leaves, the past breathes—quiet lives, quietly honored.


St George Anglican Cemetery, Gawler, South Australia.


Established in 1861, on four acres and purchased for £55 by St George’s Anglican Church.


The first section was consecrated in April 1864 by Bishop Augustus Short and the first Burial was Amelia Underdown, a child of Lycurgus and Jane Underdown, in 1861.


The cemetery holds many of Gawler’s early Anglican settlers, making it a vital site for genealogical and historical research. In 1996, the rear half was consecrated for use as a lawn cemetery, reflecting evolving burial practices.
