Fabulous Launch

Earlier today a fabulous launch was held by Friends of Canadian Corridor to support the development of the forest as a state park to both protect and share this fabulous place we have that starts here in Ballarat East.

Thanks to Martin Hale who was on hand to witness and has shared his images with us. Martin is a visual artist and writes a blog here: http://martinhale007.wordpress.com/ He has a specific interest in all things maps, heritage and Ballarat, with a special place in his heart for the East!
