Jenny, Clifton Hill is the suburb just across the creek from Yarra Bend. Have a look at Yarra Bend Admissions, page 11, there is a name that could be Clarkin, admission date was 1893. Parks Victoria web site states there are about 1000 burials at the asylum cemetery.

Jenny - I can send you if you wish photocopies of literature about Yarra Bend, including photos and plans of the buildings. There is much info about admission and treatment of patients, but no reference to on site burials. Eric - Do you know the location of the graves? Walter
