The next generation is now working at the Cassilis Recreation Reserve. Like their Mum before them, before the recreation reserve was again revived and a committee was formed to once again manage the reserve. The twins Mum and uncle was their age, when they played on the recreation reserve. It was a playground for the local children and the children who came to visit their parents.
After a committee was formed and picked up the maintenance and care of the reserve, the twins mother helped with planting trees, weeding, watering and general maintenance. The twins are now playing and helping their Mum and Nanny with maintenance at the recreation reserve. The photo shows them helping to fill buckets and take them to trees that are too dry, leaves dropping worse in the heat. They and their older brother have known the recreation reserve as a place of enjoyment, where there is no work, just fun doing things.
Three direct generations of one family have now cared for and maintained, and are still caring for and maintaining the Cassilis Recreation Reserve. The reserve is the venue for birthdays, mothers days, and just time spent in all weathers. The recreation reserve and cemetery are a favourite place to go to have some fun weeding and watering plants, playing games with too much running for we older and old folk.
Over the years the trees have been watered by all the members of the Cassilis Recreation Reserve Committee of Management members and some interested persons: who saw what was needed to save them. The reserve is a community project and owes it's survival to the communities that surround it, and the East Gippsland Shire council that supports them.
