May 2017

 Work in the Park and photos of the Delta's early days 

*******************


Road No 3


The aloe bed is settling down and a
 few have already flowered




The agapanthus put on a good show of blue and white


***********************


At top parking the old rusty fence was removed



And a nice new wooden one went up



The other side of the 'road' was also done


******************************


Cosmos, cosmos


And more beautiful cosmos

***************************




Hyacinth coming out the Florence Bloom dam


Just to prove I work as well

**************************



The wooden bridge behind the playground 
collapsed after a storm washed away
 the supporting wall






Peter Hammond, Shepherd, Kenneth 
and Arkim raising the bridge




 The 4 meter supporting poles are is and braced



All finished - secure and safe again




Kenneth  and  Arkim
So sad that a week later  Arkim had died!


*********************************



The opening of the Delta Sewage works  1934







Road No 3 that went to the big white building--
very few trees just rolling grasslands.






1974 - The renovation of the building began -
for the future Environmental Centre.


 THAT'S ALL FOLKS
