Does anyone happen to know if the Etherly Cemetery in Victoria is privately owned? How would I find out? We don't want to be arrested for trespassing... can't you just see that one. Thanks, Michelle Gunawan

This cemetery is continuously on my mind though because I'd like to at least have the chance to restore it. It bothers me that there are people buried there that my generation probably never knew existed.
