Mungana Cemetery
Address: Off Bourke Developmental Road, Mungana via Chillagoe 4871 QLD
Mungana was a small town established in northern Queensland at the turn of the 20th century that was centred around copper mining and smelting operations. Mungana Cemetery contains only a handful of marked graves with evidence of several others that are now unidentified.
Peter Patterson-Kane visited and photographed the site and its inscriptions in October 2011. He said that the cemetery is fully fenced but overgrown. His pictures may be downloaded from the list of inscriptions for this cemetery.
