Boyle, 58, who emigrated from the Vale of Glamorgan in the early 1970s, will be sentenced during February.
He had previously insisted that his wife had run off with another man.
Boyle hid his wife's body in a large barrel in his garage for 23 years, after Edwina Boyle disappeared in 1983.
It was discovered during a household clean-up by the couple's son-in-law in 2006.
During his trial the British migrant admitted lying to detectives. Boyle told the court that he had returned to his home in suburban Melbourne to find his wife shot dead.
He said he concealed her remains and did not tell the police because he was sure they would not believe his story.
It took the jury a day-and-a-half to find the former Cardiff bus driver guilty of murder.
