Hi Kathryn I'm surprised you survived a tramp through the cemetery on Saturday - although Sunday was worse with an unbelievable force 10 gale coming from the north I had visions of 2003 all over again - not something I want experience in my life time.

Originally were were just going to Vic but ended up in NSW as well. I took over 230 photos! Last Saturday it was a stinking hot day in Beechworth but I went with a towel over my head tramping through the Beechworth Cemetery. I snapped lots of photos then I saw one Thomas Rath headstone. I took the photo and told Thoams Rath I am a distant relative and that the HC list is enjoying reading about his exploits. Will up load all the photos soon to share with this list Cheers Kathryn
