Within the yards was a crane that was used. It is intended to restore it to it's original condition. |
Work is continually being done in this area.
As this area is being further developed, further information will be placed on this page to keep you up to date with what is happening in this area.

| 1. | The gateway to the gardens is now
finished and is a credit to the hard work of the committee and
volunteers. The walls, silhouettes and tiles have created a traffic -
stopping feature in our main street.

| 2. | The gardens working group has been busy planning the layout of the garden.
It is important that they plan it carefully, as this garden will be part of
the community for
many generations, and we get only one chance to set it up properly.
The layout is designed to depict the area, where a path is Goyder's Line and planting the flora equivalent to what is on each side of the line. West and East. |

| 3. | The garden
was enclosed with a temporary fence
on 14th November
2001, and the garden working group planted 140 plants. The plants have been mulched and had tyres
put over them to protect them from wind and rabbits.
During August 2002, another 80 plants were planted on both sides of the Goyder's Line pathway. Another 150 plants will be planted within another section of the garden which will be developed as the "Heritage Area". This is Stage 2 of the Project. |
Below is some photo's of the Garden during it's development stage.
