Commencement of stage two (April 2013) with the placing of the plinth. The plinth facing was designed to compliment the districts convict heritage with local stonemason Paul McKinley giving it a “Convict picked & margined” makeover, the centre cavity was then filled with concrete to avoid a possible ‘blowout’ when the 2.5 cubes of concrete are poured to form the centre column.
A 12m. flagpole was later raised with the help of locals. During May, a callistemon “Scarlet Flame” garden to compliment the Memorial walkway was completed. Pictorial update, see “Credits”
