Those whom have visited Cossack in the past may have noticed the huge Albizia tree at the rear of the Customs House/Bond Store. This tree used to cast so much of a shadow that nothing would grow under it. This left us with a large patch of bare earth which created a dust storm when the wind blew, or turned into a quagmire if it got wet.
Well, thanks to a Government program called "Royalties for Regions", we now have a nice low-walled area filled with crushed amethyst. The wall has been constructed from local stone to match the old buildings and the amethyst is quite colourful. We have moved all of the tables and chairs off the verandah and placed them under the tree. Visitors are enjoying sitting at these and having a cuppa.
Thanks to Roebourne Dingo Hire for a job well done and to Kelly Manning for finding the funds.
