Two as one.
Places to experience the magic.
Wider community cooperation along with tireless dedication by the Cassilis residents, committee and trust of both Cassilis Recreation Reserve and Historic Cemetery respectively, has blossomed into new creative energy to further improve the amenities and beautification of the area.

Consultation between the Cassilis Cemetery Trust, Recreation Reserve Committee and local authorities, such as the D.S.E , DOH & CS, Crown Land Management and the Shire of East Gippsland is producing an exciting and creative agenda that will enhance this valuable East Gippsland asset.
President of the Cassilis Recreation Reserve Committee Ms Alison Smith said, “the project is going extremely well, especially the tree planting sponsored by locals which will add beauty, colour and shelter at the reserve. Each semi-mature tree will have the sponsors personal dedication and tree type inscribed on a plaque and attached to each. We already have some inscriptions of wise words and poetry displayed for all to see.”
The committee and trust of these public areas has been inspired and productive with their fund raising efforts and working with local authorities, private enterprise and the arts community of East Gippsland.
If a bit more money is raised by Christmas the recreation reserve could have a shelter, to be shared with the cemetery, on the site to display interpretive information, and can and no doubt will also be used for events such as Art & Music, in an arboretum like setting.
Alison quipped, “As I am the youngest member of the committee my fellow members are perfectly happy to let me dig the holes for the tree planting. However, if anyone wishes to participate and perhaps sponsor a tree we still have some available and they can help plant it.”
