    1. [WAT] Tower Hill Cemetery Listing Koroit Victoria
    2. Vincent Le Plastrier
    3. An excellent source for genealogists seeking Australian-Irish family information. The Tower Hill cemetery is near Koroit, Victoria. This part of Victoria, Australia was called "little" Ireland; "When visitors sought some quintessential Irish haven in Australia they seized on Koroit or Kilmore in Victoria. They look Irish: rows of low cottages dotted the land higgledy-piggledy, bent and torn hedges almost met together at the corners of farmlets, the main streets ran past ramshackle shops, plain pubs and knots of small men in cloth caps; Catholic church, convent, or school overlooked the town, and green fields rolled away over gentle hills where men bent low in furrows digging potatoes. These towns were early and unusual settlements." http://members.datafast.net.au/marrtronics/TOWERH1.HTM Vincent Le Plastrier Forest Lake, Brisbane, Australia "Et semel emissum, volat irrevocabile verbum" - Horace 65 BC - 8 BC ["Once released, a word flies and can't be called back"]
