Hi John, There is a very nice gentleman named Peter Swann who is a contact for the Kapunda Catholic Cemetery online at http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/light/stjohnrc.htm He may? have access to the Kapunda Newspaper but I'm not sure of the years that the newspaper ran for. May be worth you trying, Good Luck, Sharon -------------------------------------------------- From: "John Bird" <johnkb13@hotmail.com> Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 6:01 PM To: <aus-sagen@rootsweb.com> Subject: [AUS-SAGEN] Albert Bird and Kapunda > > Hi I am trying to find an article about an athletics event held ion > Kapunda on 18 September 1872.
