Hi, can't really help, just add a bit of gossip. Mary McKillop had a home on what is now the cemetery, at the back left. Just thought you might like to know seeing as what's going on this weekend. Cheers, Jo.

Hi Jo; Curious as to the information you noted. Where did it come from as I had not found it so far in my research? Thank you for the reply.

Hi David, can't remember when I first knew about this, must be at least 40 odd years ago - before she was famous, lol.. Wasn't much of a house as I've heard, made from bark and stuff. More a cottage really. As I said was at the back left, someone told me later that it's where the Pajama(sp) Girl is buried, but I think that was just sensationalising. I DO think I remember hearing it was knocked down to make way for the cemetery, but then again, it s what I HEARD. Sorry, can't be of much more help. Try the Joeys, Sisters of St Joseph after this weekend of course, lol.. Good hunting, Jo.
