A NEW LIFE FOR OUR ROTARY CENTENARY GARDEN
Established in 2005 as a special project to recognise the 100th anniversary of the Rotary Foundation, the Central Blue Mountains Rotary Centenary Garden is at Blue Mountains District ANZAC Memorial Hospital, Katoomba, and is providing continuous pleasure for patients in the palliative care and rehabilitation wards.
 
The fountain, a work of art in stainless steel, was designed by local sculptor Terrance Plowright.
A Presidents Walk, constructed with pavers, contains names and dates relating to presidents since 1976.
Still on the job, members of Central Blue Rotary have been clipping, cleaning, doing maintenance on the fountain, and generally attending to whatever is necessary to create a pleasant and relaxing environment for the hospital patients and staff.
This picture shows Tom Hickey, Peter Carroll and Allan Byrnes working on repairs to the water circulating pump whilst John Sim was busy high pressure water cleaning sandstone seating and timber garden furniture in preparation for re-oiling.
