Myponga is a small town on the Fleurieu Peninsula, between Goolwa and Victor Harbor. While the Oldfield Memorial Hall was built in 1939, the Methodist Church was built in 1883 - possibly as a 'Bible Christian Church'. (

The cemetery has headstones with inscriptions going back as far as the 1850's. There is also a brick columbarium dating from 1986. The name change from Methodist Cemetery, to Uniting Cemetery would have been in 1977 when many of the Methodist Churches combined with some other 'minor' denominations to form the 'Uniting Church of Australia'. The cemetery is largely in good condition, but some inscriptions are difficult to read.
