DFB,
Nice work on the birdbaths, I remember as a kid going down to the little nursery along Marsden Road, Carlingford with the parents to buy potted plants and succulents. Wonder if its still there, think it was owned by Swanes out Kenthurst way.

Next to the cemetery? Was still there last year, although the cow paddocks nearby are long gone, ditto the nice lady on the next corner up who tirelessly raised funds for charities.

Yes, there’s an early colonial cemetery next door to the nursery. Mobbses and Marsdens in there.

Vaguely remember it as a kid but tell you the truth I've never been in there. Got a feeling they might have moved the graves from the old church up the road when they developed the land for apartments in the 60s.
