there is a photo of a modern sign marking the burial of two people who drowned in the Thompson River in 1847.

I'm trying to locate where it is, if it is still standing. The photo description mentions Myrtlebank, but a Google drive up and down the main roads has found nothing (which may be my fault!)

Help, please. Co-ords if possible, but a description would help a lot.

TIA

G'day Paul,
There was some research done by Jeremy Hales and Marion Le Cheminant,
which resulted in this sign being erected in 1998 or 1999.

Sale Historical Society may be able to assist more.

Thanks, Chris. It is quite an interesting story.

Maybe someone knows where the sign is (or was).

Paul
