Objects of Substance- Commemorative Tree Grove

To the west of the main centre was a long, sloping field, one that had obviously been cleared in the centre’s previous incarnation as a dairy farm. To rejuvenate the area and to make the slope reminiscent of the environment it had been, the fathers came up with the idea to plant out the area with a considered collection of over 600 Australian trees that would add both beauty and an educational perspective. While the celebratory publication called this a tree grove, the signage details a much more ambitious project.
