Thanks Kathleen
With leads from this board and some of the Roots Web e:mail lists I have been able to pin down my Grandmother's birthplace, Heathcote, Rodney, Victoria, Australia, and get a copy of her birth certificate from Victoria, BMD registry.
Thanks a lot.

Hi, I think you will find it is the district Rodney. Which is around the Shepparton, Victoria area. My great grandparents marriage certificate has Rodney on it. And they were married at Kotupna.

Hope this was helpful.
