Hello Sharon, Thankyou so very much for going to the trouble of finding out about my graves/headstones. At least I now know, even if there is no headstone, it is a shame about reclaiming graves.. Thankyou for you help, it is very much appreciated. regard Judy Hi Judy, Only get up to Karrakatta a few times a year but often do lookups for people. I had a look at the Karrakatta map thinking I would add it to my list for when I was next there & couldn't find Anglican section GA. This made me think it may be one of the reclaimed areas, especially as this grave is quite an old one. I gave Karrakatta a ring & they checked & told me that yes it is one of the reclaimed areas. Although it didn't used to happen, over the last few years they have had a policy of photographing headstones before removing so I asked about the possibility of the existence of a photograph. They checked & unfortunately although this section was photographed there was not a headstone on this grave. Sorry, but at least you now know. If anyone on the list did want to make contact with Karrakatta (or any of the other cemeteries covered by the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board) they have a 1300 number - 1300 793 109 or email: <mailto:mcb@mcb.wa.gov.au?subject=MCB%20Website%20Query-Karrakatta>mcb@mcb.w a.gov.au. Although I detest the Cemetery Board grave renewal program I must say I have always found the staff very helpful. Best wishes, Sharon >> >> Hello list, >> I was wondering if anyone is going or lives near Karrakatta Cemetery in >> W.A. >> And if so could SKS take a photo of the below grave please. many thanks >> to you.. >> Judy >> >> I have one family grave with 4 in it. >> >> GALLUS >> CHARLES BELLINGHAM >> ANNIE ELIZABETH >> Charles John >> & >> Elizabeth >> >> >> Grave Location >> KARRAKATTA CEMETERY ANGLICAN GA 0179 >> Cemetery Area or Denomination Section Gravesite

I don't understand about these things in WA but it sounds awfully wrong to me. WA hasn't got a law against desecration ? Surely the trust or whatever have over-reached themselves. This is really, really bad if it is allowed to happen. If there is not a law against it there should be. We've been through this crap in Victoria where the pain and the heartbreak to relatives on the end-of-tenure just wasn't worth the gains. I'd be looking closer at the legislation in WA and comparing them against the trust regulations. Legislation over-rules regulations. What does it take to declare the cemetery a heritage site and stop this insanity ? I'm not a legal person. Is there any one that knows about these things on-line ? It just sounds horribly wrong to me.
