Images

Once this weather passes I'll get some pictures in its current state. Ideally it'd be nice to be able to identify some images where comparisons could be made. List any you find here Gnan garra 08:29, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

Per Wikipedia:Wikipedia does not care about the official name of anything, I'm uncertain whether to move this to East Perth Cemeteries or not. That's the "official" name as per the sign at the gate, but I suspect very few people would call it that. The Transperth stop opposite is called "Trafalgar Rd East Perth Cemetery Yellow Cat".

Thoughts? —Moondyne 10:42, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well it was originally known as Cemetery Hill and Category:Burials at East Perth Cemetery will need to be altered. Yeah why not, besides transperth has been known to get lost occassionally. Gnan garra 12:33, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good work

Wonderful collaborations from Satu and Gnangarra. Thanks guys. —Moondyne 02:23, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Forrest Avenue

Its interesting that the diagonal Forrest Avenue - see [1] which was a sandy track and built as a direct route to the burial ground from the township still exists. The section beneath the MRD building has gone (obviously). —Moondyne 04:53, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've always notice that street and wondered why its the only diagonal in the city area, never even occurred to associate it EPC. Gnan garra 05:21, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
