Must be something in the water that bringing on these name changes :-) Like the F3 is going to be the M1 ? or something like that .A couple of years ago the powers that be, changed the name of The Entrance Road to the Central Coast Highway . Its still a goat track regardless. Personally Rookwood will always be Rookwood. If a longer name is needed I think your suggestion is a good one. bye MargM Sydney List Admin > > > _________________________________ > Gary Luke ~ gary@feraltek.com.au > Sydney, Australia > > Please remember to snip most of the earlier message before you > post any > reply......

If a longer name is >needed I think your suggestion is a good one. Name changes of institutions often go hand in hand with internal structural changes and how they service clients. What happened after our postal, railways, electricity, public works & employment services changed their names. It's the cemeteries turn now - Rookwood Necropolis is the first of a rollout across the state. Gary _________________________________ Gary Luke ~ gary@feraltek.com.au Sydney, Australia
