Time to sit down and remember war heroes
WHILST paying their respects to fallen World War soldiers, visitors to the Atherton War Memorial Cemetery on Rockley Street can rest their feet at a new picnic table newly install by the Atherton Rotary Club.
Rotarians Trevor Taylor, president Leigh Woltmann, Jo Barnes and Peter Delai with the newly installed seat at the Atherton War Memorial.
The idea of installing a table and benches came from club member Trevor Taylor, who had noticed the amount of visitors coming to the cemetery.
He believes having a seat will help increase the amount of people coming to pay their respects at the War Memorial, getting the Rotary club on board to install the precast concrete table.
With money raised from the FNQ Field Days and with the help of Tablelands Regional Council and Tolga business FNQ Precast they were able to create and deliver the low maintenance one piece set to the cemetery.
This is one of many projects that Rotary funds and supports in the Tablelands community.
