West Gippsland, Victoria
Visiting the graves of my Great Grandparents, Colin & Mary Ann McKenzie,
I decided to take photos of all the graves.
I have put them here for others who are unable to travel to this place.
Drouin West is in the shire of Buln Buln, and located approx 95 km's East of Melbourne.
Travelling via the Princes Freeway, towards Warragul, take the Drouin turnoff and turn left.
Turn right, C426, to Jindivick on the Old Sale Road.
The cemetery is on the right, just past the saw mill. 5 minutes from the freeway.
The photo is the transcription, just follow the link.
Hard to read transcriptions are at the bottom of the page, as is the key.
