Mounds - we stopped counting after 200, there are so many not marked
Iron surrounds - 6
Concrete surrounds - 3
Concrete blocks, without headstones - 4
* my apologies to this family, I have missed the husband's name and the shot has been deleted from the camera
** Emily Louisa - no surname provided
There was no clear definition of areas of religious affiliation and no apparent Roman Catholic section; there are signs that read Anglican and Methodist which we tried to follow
In some cases the original headstone was supplemented by an additional plaque - I have combined the information
Dates and abbreviations have often been typed in full, not necessarily as they appear on the headstone, but true to the information supplied
Steve was told that the local shire council has a programme of identifying some people by DNA and then marking their graves. Last year they 'found' 18 people!
