Mt. Isa is a mining town near the western border of Queensland, and in the far north of Australia.
It shares a real-time zone with Adelaide, in South Australia, although it actually ticks to Queensland's time, a half hour earlier.
There is an unexpected beauty in the arid hills and abrupt green gorges of the area, but without the drab towers of the mining and smelting operation it would probably still be a sleepy cattletown. The data given is scarcely pioneer material, but it includes a lot of Finnish family names, and all have been included for that reason in spite of dates. Not all interrments are listed, but all the early headstones are shown. As usual, there are probably errors, and we would appreciate hearing about them. We have now gone to a live on-line database called MOP ('Myra's Other Place') and the records listed below are steadily being copied over. Once a record is there a green tick will show alongside the entry. The MOP database has a lot more than just cemetery records and is worth checking out here where you can log in as Guest password guest.
