THROSBY MEMORIAL & HERITAGE WALL

The Black Springs Community Association Inc received a $12,647 grant through the Federal Government's Stronger Communities Program for the Throsby Memorial and Heritage Wall.

​

Federal member for Calare, Andrew Gee visited Springs to announce the funding before officially opening the project in May 2019.

​

Black Springs has a rich pioneering history and the project marks the bicentenary of Charles Throsby's visit to the area.

​

Charles Throsby paved the way for explorers and pioneers who later settled in the region and the project is a fitting tribute to this significant milestone in Black Springs' past.

​

The wall includes a timeline of the history of Black Springs,  A bust and cairn of Charles Throsby is erected as part of the feature.

​

This site will become a popular spot for not only local residents and tourists but also, for descendants of those pioneers who settled in the area.

​

Thank you to the Federal Government in supporting the important work of the Black Springs Community Association Inc.
