The town of Moonta is located 165 km northwest of Adelaide and 20 m above sea level, It is often referred to as as 'Australia¹s Little Cornwall'. It is part of the region known as the 'Copper Triangle' which includes the towns of Kadina and Wallaroo.

Moonta cemetery has many burials with no markers, whether from vandalism of aging or never having one. There is a large number of unmarked childrens graves (just beyond the main gates). A plaque states that these simple mounds locate the burial places of children killed by a disease that was due to unsanitary conditions from the mines.

This is not a complete listing of burials! The records below were provided by contributors to Cemetery Records Online. Total records = 5.
