Like many people, I have had family emigrating to Australia for about 200 years. A relative who lives in Victoria has read this report in their newspaper, the Herald Sun: St Kilda Cemetery, one of the oldest in the state of Victoria, was visited by vandals on Tuesday night. Forty-four graves were badly damaged, including smashed and toppled headstones dating back more than 100 years. No religion was singled out by the vandals. Records go back to the 1800's, and efforts are being made to try and contact families with a connection to the graves involved. This attack occured despite St Kilda's being locked every night and with a security patrol in place, and police are investigating. I thought I would post this in case a fellow member of the list knew of their own family links to the cemetery. For further details they ask that you contact the necropolis on: 0061 (0)3 8558 8278 Margaret
