Cape York Trip - Day 10


Steve came with us out to Belgian Gardens Cemetery, where we cleaned up the family plot, took some photos and Steve visited Wes’ grave.

Darryl & I then went to West End Cemetery, and found the Melchert grave with help from a volunteer, John, who also told me about the Weinheimer graves, which we found on the other side of the creek.

Violet, and her parents Alice & Frank Weinheimer

Our friends Marie-France & Trevor live close-by.


After that we met cousin Ken and his dad Barry. I have been in contact with Ken about our family history for many years, but this is the first time we have met.
