EXERCISE EQUIPMENT FOR THE SAY G’DAY TRAIL
The WHJCG had always intended that the exercise equipment be positioned along the Say G’Day trail at intervals that offer continuance and as a means of connecting the two towns. We have always wanted some facilities at Heathcote Junction, particularly for youth, and this was supported by Council in the past. We were disappointed that only two of the proposed five exercise pods were erected on the Say G'Dy trail. A third was positioned in Davern Reserve, We did however negotiate with MSC to provide a small playground at the Heathcote Junction (North Mountain Rd) end of the trail and this has now been built,
SCULPTURE FOR THE LIONS PARK
Mitchell Sire has received 12 submissions for a replacement artwork in the Lions Park adjacent to the Wandong railway station car park. We were involved in the evaluations and a decision will be made shortly with a view of the project being completed by April 2025. The WHJCG and the Wandong History Group, have favoured the submissions that display our history.
MURAL OF WANDONG CIRCA 1900
The mural of Wandong circa 1900 has been installed at the rear of the Wandong Plaza. We thank Alpine Petroleum, the Bendigo Bank, ARTC, Wandong Wallan Lions Club for their financial assistance to make this project happen.
