LINKING PEOPLE OF THE PAST WITH SITES OF THE PRESENT

A historical markers program, as guided by Georges River Council and the local community, looks to:

  • Create awareness of the history, heritage and cultural identity of the Georges River LGA to build a strong sense of identity and belonging in the community
  • Mark historically important places in the local area
  • Incorporate a historical resource and open air archive which provides multi-dimensional and ongoing opportunities for community engagement with the local area

Love the idea of this but can't help but feel that some markers are maybe not really all that necessary e.g. the one about the cinema in Railway parade Mortdale, the money could be better spent or saved altogether ,is there anything to commemorate the site of Judds Brickworks , have you a Map of all the current and proposed markers , it would make an interesting Tourist drive/walk
