Original (full size!) photos are held in the files of the Bellarine Historical Society, Drysdale, Victoria.
Some of the photos appear repetitive, however they are also a record of events and therefore deserve inclusion. The following photos are included :-

Susannah wished to be buried in the Newington Cemetery with her two husbands, however the story goes that her daughter-in-law objected and she was buried in the Queenscliff Cemetery at Point Lonsdale. | |
