New Tank Installation : The garden is having the best season ever at present after the rain, there are free herbs for picking, and residents are invitied to join the pickers for vegetable etc by paying the annual $30 fee.
A new 58,000 litre water tank funded by the Office of Gambling will provide for the need for water in the future. The Garden Group is raising funds for the community contribution to the project to provide the base. So pickers fees will be greatly appreciated.
