Friday February 24, 2017.
After a very twisting road from Bairnsdale to Omeo, we drove on to Benambra where we visited the Cemetery. We had no directions so Barry stopped at the general store in Benambra where they gave him instructions on how to find the cemetery. We were told to drive about 1.5 Ks along the Bitumen road to the Limestones. We followed these directions and could not find the cemetery until we retraced our trail and realized that the cemetery was tucked in behind a grove of Cyprus trees.
Being in the country with live stock around, the cemetery was bordered by a fence with a gate that was chained. We remembered to shut the gate and replace the chain once we were inside.
There were two sides to the cemetery which did not appear to be denominational. Their were Prendergast/Pendergast family in both sections.
We spent the afternoon photographing as many Pendergast/Prendergast graves as we could find. We hope we did not miss any

Hi John,
Thank you for your kind comments. I do not know much about Tom Prendergast but I do have a contact who might be able to add some more information for you. May I pass on your contact details to this person and have them contact you directly, or would you rather I contact them on your behalf and get back to you?
Best wishes,
Jennifer.

Howdy I just read this, very interesting.
My fathers sister Violet ( nee McNair) married Tom Prendergast and they owned a café in OMEO for many years in the 1950s or 60’s.They had about 8 kids. ( My cousins) I find it difficult to get much info as they were outnumbered by Pendergast families (no R in it). I saw a reference where it said Prendergast ( or Pendergast!)
Do you know much about Tom?
