Kids laid poppies after clean up.
The ‘working bees’ volunteers, consisting of 22 adults and two children, gathered their tools and got to work.
These graves were extremely old, requiring a delicate hand as they worked to make the area shine.
While some graves only needed some sweeping, others required a lot more effort, with some being hidden under a thick layer of gum nuts and branches.
The volunteers’ work made a huge diff erence, and they were pleased with the results.
The two children went around placing poppies on graves of fallen servicemen/ women, once the clean-up was done.
