Milang Cemetery, South Australia. A view across several gravestones toward an old, rusty wrought iron fence backing onto a dense bushland area with eucalyptus trees and dry grass. Prominent headstones include a black, arched monument on the right for SCHUBERT, in 'LOVING MEMORY', with inscription noting a 'Dearly Loved Husband & Father GUSTAV ALBERT Died 26th JUNE 1970 Aged 69 YEARS.' To its left, a small white cross marks the grave of 'Anna Margaret Medlin.' Further left, a black headstone features a monochrome portrait of a woman. Scattered flowers and small personal tributes are visible across the grave plots.

A close up photograph of a contemporary red brown granite headstone memorial, focused on the base and the polished surface. Engraved in gold script are the words, "DEARLY LOVED GRANDMOTHER & GREAT GRANDMOTHER" followed by "Forever In Our Hearts". The base of the memorial is covered with a bed of smooth, multi coloured river stones. Resting on the polished surface are several mementos: a small, silver toned statue of a seated Buddha, a small white ceramic teddy bear figurine, a small open memorial book with a pink rose on the cover, and a vase of artificial purple flowers on the right.

A photograph of a weathered, rounded headstone enclosed by a low, rusted, decorative wrought iron fence. The headstone appears to be made of light coloured stone and the text is faded but partially legible, revealing the names "JOHN BLYTH ROGERS" and "MARY ANN ROGERS". The fence is supported by concrete blocks at the corners. The surrounding area is overgrown with dry, yellow wildflowers and green weeds. In the background are various trees, including dense green foliage on the left and sparse, dry-looking trees on the right.

A photograph signed by Bron Peirce. The image focuses on a weathered white marble grave marker standing in a shaded, dry area. The marker consists of a simple Latin cross mounted on a rectangular plinth. Leaning against the plinth is a shield shaped plaque inscribed: "In Loving Memory of BERRY STARR. RELICT OF ANNIE. DIED 2nd APRIL 1947. AGED 69." The background is dark, dense Australian scrub and trees, suggesting the grave is at the edge of a cemetery or within a thicket of bushland.

A photograph signed by Bron Peirce. The central focus is a historic grave surrounded by a rusty, ornate cast iron fence. Inside the enclosure, a white marble headstone is mounted on a rough concrete plinth. The headstone is topped with a simple cross. The grave is located in dry, flat ground typical of the Australian bush, with sparse green and dead grasses and some distant scrub and trees under a hazy white sky.

A wide, landscape oriented photograph of the Milang Cemetery under a cloudy sky. In the foreground, a simple, weathered, pointed gravestone is enclosed by a small, curved iron fence, and to the right, a large wooden barrel planter with greenery sits beside the fence. A dirt path runs left to right across the mid ground, where several other fenced burial plots and headstones are visible, including the tall, white obelisk seen in the previous image. The cemetery is bordered in the distance by a dense line of dark trees.

A cemetery scene centered on a white stone cross mounted on a rectangular pedestal, prominently featuring the inscription "Mary" and "Michael Patrick". The cross has the letters "IHS" carved below the arms. The grave is framed by low, rusted metal railings. The surrounding headstones, some dark and some light marble, are blurred in the foreground and background due to a shallow depth of field, emphasizing the central cross. Beyond the graves, dry, rolling brown hills and dark eucalyptus trees are visible under a bright sky.
