The Stanthorpe Rotary Club was hosted for one of our November meetings by the Amiens History Association at the site of their Soldier Settler project. Professor Roger Willis guided members around the site with stories of what it looked like in the past and what he hopes it will look like in the future. The site is the terminus of the old railway branch line from Cottonvale and was a crucial point for the survival of the settlers as they loaded their crops for transport to the larger markets at this station. The group has plans to create a Memorial Avenue of trees in honour of the early orchardists, restore and refurbish a 1920s rail carriage and construct a period building to house soldier settler memorabilia and stories. The Rotary Club of Stanthorpe will assist with the cost of trees for the avenue as this aligns perfectly with the goal of planting one tree for every Rotarian in the 2017-18 year.
