Launch of Wiseman’s Ferry & District War Memorial Project
Local Parliamentarians, including Philip Ruddock MP and Louise Markus MP, joined with the dedicated band of locals spearheading the project which aims to have a Memorial in place for the Centenary of Anzac Day, on April 25 2015.
The project aims to record the names of men and women who departed from Wiseman’s Ferry and surrounds to serve their country in time of war.
Using the names listed on the Nominal Roll Scrolls at the Wiseman’s Ferry Bowling Club as their staring point, painstaking research is underway to ensure the accuracy of the names.
Local identities including Wayne & Susan Moore, Margie & Kevin Pratt, the Rev Peter Goldstein and Barry Roberts are tirelessly working to gain both community and financial support to see this project come to fruition.
The preferred site for the Memorial is adjacent to the Bowling Club and directly opposite the entrance to the Wiseman’s ferry Golf Club.
The Memorial is intended to display a peaceful garden atmosphere with the Hawkesbury Rover escarpment in the distance.
