Subject: [AUS-SAGEN] Vandals at Port Lincoln SA cemetery
Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2001 17:40:03 +1030


Just on tonight's news-
I thought it may relate to some of your ancestors -

It's a very sad day for the local community & history of Port Lincoln( very
large country town ) in South Australia. The Port Lincoln cemetery which
dates back to 1834 has been severely vandalised.Many headstones & graves
have been severely damaged by vandals on the weekend.The damage is in the
10's of Thousands of Dollars.Many of the headstones are ruined beyond
repair.

My heart goes out to anyone affected by this disgusting act of vandalism.
