Fremantle Cemetery Heritage Tour 2014
The Heritage Festival sometimes includes a tour of the Cemetery conducted by Don Whittington, a member of the MCB. In 2014 for the first time the tour included brief performances by actors representing interees. Here are some photos.

Don Whittington with an actress playing Martha Rendell during the 2014 Heritage Festival Cemetery Tour. I'm sorry I didn't get the names of either of the actors. If anyone could let me know, I'd be grateful. The actor in the 2016 Tour was James Hagan.
