Please watch your emails for the next working bee on this project.

We need people with chain saws, loppers and lots of energy to bring

the fallen bits to an area to be chipped.

The Water Tank and a couple suggestions we gave the school.

A competition was run at the school for the children to design the painting on the tank.

Water tank

The teacher and children has created a fantastic concept but it might not project well tonight. I have attached a colourless concept image but there is so much more to it than what appears in the image. There is a base image of sky, land and under water which forms the top, middle and bottom of the design and which will 'run around' the water tank mirroring the landscape that surrounds the water tank. Layered on top of this reflection of the landscape will be many, many native flora and fauna that the children have individually drawn. These children's images could be realistic in appearance, stylised, iconic or imaginary [but based on something native to the area.]. It will grow - but I stress the image attached doesn't do it justice! [Over 30 children and teachers have contributed!]
