Washed up on Palm Beach: Carved Wooden Cross. Help required.
Submitted by Moking on Fri, 2013-05-10 19:17
Hopefully thru Fishwreck I can find someone who may know about this wooden cross,and contact me,so I can return it.
It was washed up onto Palm Beach yesterday afternoon during the Northwest storms,so I'm maybe thinking it's come from around Garden Island?
The following is carved/engraved onto the cross:

Hi I have only just come across this and this is the cross I put at Kwinana Beach after my Dad passed away there in 2008, We've only just noticed it was washed away and have only just seen your post
I wouldnt expect that youd have the cross anymore but I just wanted to say thank you for finding it and trying to get in contact with us my family and I appreciate it greatly !!
Thank you again
