There is no cemetery called St Aust. Best bet if there is a clear Welsh connection is St Johns Churchyard at Aust in South Gloucestershire. Aust was the where the ferry to Wales used to run from before the bridges were built.
Otherwise St Austall in Cornwall.

Having done a quick bit of research St Austell is now the more likely as a family of Morris lived near Luxulyan which is in the registration district of St Austall. 3 were called Thomas Morris. They would have gone there for the copper mining work. My ancesters were copper miners from nearby Tywardreth.
Thomas and Catherine MORRIS died in Port Adelaide, South Australia.
Thank you to all who responded. I may have to be more explicit. I was referring to South Australia re the cemetery thanks "Tonkin" I know they died here in Sth Australia but I have not had any luck re the cemetery. Even tried old cemeteries that no longer exist via local councils. Will keep trying.
I would think they would have been interred at Cheltenham but don't see them.
Why don't you contact the Adelaide Cemeteries Authority. They are open Monday to Friday 8:30am to 4:30pm Telephone: (08) 8139 7400 They would know of all the cemeteries operating in that area at the time.
I believe there was a St. Mary's in the Port Adelaide area, probably a lot more attached to churches which fell out of use. Or what about the Alberton, now that was the first burial ground and it was on the Port road, that cemetery was forgotten about for years. I believe the bodies at Alberton were supposed to be exhumed and buried at Cheltenham but I don't think anything was done about it. Ask about that one there must be records somewhere.
Alberton Cemetery
Thanks Janilye Have tried the Alberton cemetery with no luck and also Cheltenham but will give the Adelaide Cemeteries Authority a go. Sorry for delay in replying have been away for a few days. Gwen.
