Kadina Cemetery is a heritage-listed cemetery established in January 1866.A cemetery reserve was surveyed in 1861, and the first occupant was buried there in September that year; however, the cemetery was soon relocated to the present site and the graves were reburied here due to concerns about the original location. The Kadina Cemetery had been established to replace an earlier pioneer cemetery at Wallaroo Mines, where 28 people had been buried. In March 1862, mine manager Gavin Young ordered the removal of remains from the pioneer cemetery to the new Kadina Cemetery, as the old ceremony was likely to be encroached upon by the mines;
