New Olive Tree for Lemnos Square

Great news from Albert Park's Lemnos Square.
A key part of our commemorative installation at Lemnos Square in Albert Park was the olive tree. This combined with our Lemnos Gallipoli Memorial, flag poles and information boards to complete our commemoration of the Hellenic link to Australia's - and Port Phillip's - Gallipoli story.

Some of our members and supporters may have noticed recently that our lovely olive tree at Lemnos Square had sustained serious damage. We don't know what happened but it would appear that someone unknown had damaged the tree and "severely pruned" it - for want of a better word.

Our Committee alerted Port Phillip Council to the damage and the great news is that they have replaced the Olive Tree. The tree is now protected too.
A big thank you to all at Port Phillip Council, including Sandra Khazam, for their excellent and timely work in restoring this important component of Lemnos Square.
