GUEST,Rowan	English To English Translation Needed (111* d)	RE: English To English Translation Needed	25 Sep 06
Now that we're engaging in thread creep I suppose I could mention that Northcote, where I spent a lot of my youth, had a thriving German community (north of Rukkers' Hill) at the turn of the 19th century; that German community created the grandest of the floral arches for the Duke (of York's?) State visit at around that time. At the outset of WW1 the whole lot of them was sent to the Wimmera (at that stage about as developed as the Simpson Desert is now) as 'internment'; most became wheat farmers. Some of the street names around Northcote got changed but the cemetery survived. Cheers, Rowan
