Again talk looms about revamping Queen Vic Market. Once the site of the Melbourne Cemetery, there is still around 9000 bodies buried underneath. Many in mass burial graves only a few metres from the ground. It should be interesting what plans are made as even in 1991 graves were disturbed when doing some upgrades. Makes me wonder how many graves were disturbed when digging the cutting for the Eastern Freeway in the 70s. There was a cemetery for Yarra Bend Asylum to the south of the Thomas Embling Hospital in Alphington. 1200 Patients buried in mass graves in between Fairlea Oval and the Yarra Bend Golf Course right where the freeway is now.
