A project undertaken by Booborowie Primary School has greatly enhanced our online information for graves at the Booborowie cemetery. With the assistance of community members and a grant through the Commonwealth History Project, all the headstones were photographed and the inscriptions transcribed and this information made available to Council and has been added to the Cemetery Search database. The students also produced a short introduction to the Cemetery and recorded how they went about preparing for and completing the project, both of which can be viewed by clicking on the links below.

The Original "First Kooringa Cemetery"- It is impossible to know the exact numbers buried in this cemetery, nor how many people are missing from the records. Based on sources available the names stored on this website under this Cemetery are of the men, women and children known to have died in Kooringa, the Burra Creek dugouts or while working for the Burra Burra Mine between 1845 and May 1850. It is reasonable to conclude that many of them rest here, in the First Kooringa Cemetery. In 1899 a memorial was erected in their honour and it is still visible today.
Council's online cemetery records also includes records and headstone photos of the Emu Downs Cemetery which is maintained by the Russian Molokan Spiritual Christian Leapers & Jumpers Cemetery Inc. The Emu Downs Cemetery is located off of Kotz Road, Emu Downs.
