Peaks to Point Salisbury History Walk
Member discount offer to Bicentennial Symposium
Salisbury History Walk – Peaks to Point Festival
On Saturday 27th the history group led an enjoyable walk through Salisbury’s WWII ‘Rocklea Munitions Works’ and war workers’ cottages. The event was sponsored by Oxley Creek Catchment Association’s two-week Peaks to Point Festival. Although a small contingent, the participants were able to offer valuable contributions. A suggestion for at least one plaque at a central location (there are none there) seems very much in order. Below is an image of the administration building.
