The photo above is of the Rook Wall and Lookout near The Blue Lake in mount Gambier. The building of this has to go down as one of the greatest 'Working Bees' ever. In September 1918 over 1,000 men and women gathered at 7.30 in the morning to begin construction of the wall and lookout. By sunset most of the work had been competed including the new stone wall up to 4 metres high and 200 metres long! It still stands proudly today as a testament to volunteerism.
