Pam, Milpara I'm sure was built at that address in 1976. I live in Rostrevor and watched it be built! However in the morning i'll give them a ring and ask them when it was all started as I can't find a date on the net. You have got me curious. My mother in law was in there in the early eighties Originally they had little flats and courtyard homes and then they built the Nursing Home complex later. Perhaps theirs was one of the houses knocked down to create the complex but it's more likely he could have been one of the very early residents in those units with his wife.
With regard to the cemeteries around the district. I think at that stage some were still being buried at the Magill Cemetery. Also Athelstone Cemetery would have been an option I think. There is a cemetery at St George's Anglican on St Bernard's Road futher towards Magill but only think they would have been accepting cremations of parishioners at that time. Someone on the list may know the exact dates there. The Enfield Cemetery although some distance away was new then as a garden cemetery and people from this area often were buried there. Worth a try.
You said he was a cellar man by trade. Now there may be some possibilities there as very close by to where they lived are the Magill Cellars and Penfolds Winery. (Probably in walking distance in those days!!) Virtually straight up St Bernard's Road.
I could help you with Magill and St George's cemeteries when I go on my walks!!!
I'll keep in touch.
