Regards Mark P/s would be interesting to see if these people have the above listed in their files " bet not" ----- Original Message ----- From: James Crighton <[email protected]> To: Mark Bradshaw <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 12, 2000 7:03 PM Subject: Lone Graves > Hi Mark, > Looks like some one has beaten us to it but maybve we could do an update > version > http://www.macbeth.com.au/fiche/qld.html#cemetery > > Cheers > Jim > Cheers Jim in Toowoomba
