Thanks Cando!
I had good intentions, but dinner and converstion got in my way.
Is anybody able to access or take photo's
A B
Just adding that from my own-- and perhaps Cando's resources-- photos are not available of these MI's. Perhaps someone in the area can oblige with a visit.

Thanks for this BUT
Alright - I don't want to sound dumb, but what does "MI" stand for??
Also, is there a difference between "Old Cobden Cemetery", and "Cobden Cemetery", or are they the same cemetery?
And what source did you use to identify the information from?
Would really LOVE some photo's of these headstones though!!!!! Anybody? ;D

MI=Monumental Inscription.
I do not know about Old and New Cobden.
Browse here and you may find an opportunity to acquire photos from Cobden

No ideas regarding photos for Terang :(
Personal Message on the way to you regarding your last point of query.

Not all information is online and family history groups are often my first port of call when researching families in rural areas. I suggest you contact the Terang group http://www.collectionsaustralia.net/org/1773/about/
Cheers

Photos are available on CD or DVD here.

I posted the link to the OP on another thread so she is aware of what is available.
A number of us have the CD and there are no photos. The USB has photos.

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for all your assistance. I will follow up the links and see if I can source any photo's from there, but in the meantime if anybody is able to take photo's at either the Cobden or Terang cemeteries, I would be very grateful to hear from you.
Regards, AB :)

Hi,
I'm originally from Bostock's Creek (Near Cobden) but not currently in the area but thought this might help, I stumbled across it when looking up info on my dad.
Google search "Cobden Cemetery Trust a grave undertaking" and then download the April PDF, gives some history and contact people in the area who may be able to help.
i may be able to assist in a few months when I am back down that way.
