    3. Hi Julie, Yes, all are one and the same place, just variant spelling. The folks who transcribed for the cds probaly didn't know where it was either. What is known locally as SCHNAPPER POINT these days is pretty much the area around MORNINGTON Park and the pier area. "Recent locals" do not know the area was originally known as SCHNAPPER POINT; OSBORNE is now known as MOUNT MARTHA (that changed as recently as about 1972). Dorne SAUNDERS Dornes1@bigpond.com

    3. Hi Dorne Its interesting,I didnt know about Osborne,I all ways new it as Mt Martha,A little more history I'll have to remember that. I get asked all the time about Schnapper Piont,when people are asking for photos they get the info from the cd then find the person buried in the Mornington cemetery they just cant seem to grasp it.
