Legerwood Memorial Tree Carvings

15/06/2019

The Souvenir and Tourist information carriage is now closed until September. This gives our Volunteers a well earned break. The donation box down at the trees is always open and hungry. So,if you come to visit those magnificently carved WW1 Memorial Trees you can always leave a donation if you wish.
See you all again in September.

Here is another photo, courtesy of the Diprose family, of the opening of the Legerwood milk factory in 1973. When a new site was built at Spreyton in 1997, the Legerwood and Devonport operations were closed soon after.

Since there is a photo on this site of the Ringarooma Area School taken a long time ago, I thought I'd show a few more recent photos taken in Oct 2017. Major changes have been made since I went to school there :)

We received a lovely surprise in the mail from Shirley Baldwin. Shirley and her husband had visited the Memorial trees during their recent 6 week tour of Tassie. Shirley was so touched by the memorial that she crocheted some beautiful poppies for each plaque for Anzac Day. Thank you, Shirley. The committee appreciated your beautiful gift.

Jason Chard from Scottsdale was assigned the task of replacing the 3 chainsaw carvings done be Eddie Freeman 13 years ago. Unfortunately the original carvings deteriorated to such an extent that they had to be replaced. Jason has his own business, "Tasmanian Burl."
