Photograph: Planting ceremony to commence Pine Plantation, Tarnagulla, June 1925

Historical information

From tarnagulla.org by David Gordon:

"The plantation is bounded by King, Gladstone and Welsh Streets and on the east by the drainage channel. It was planted up and opened in June 1925. It is located on the massive sand heap of R.W.Hammond's quartz crushing battery, and the plantation served to enhance the appearance of a large-scale mining precinct which was by 1925 seen as an eyesore from the bygone mining days".
