National Trust of SA... Willunga Branch
Old Courthouse & Police Station Museum, 61 High St, Willunga
3rd Monday, 7.30pm at the Courthouse.
The Willunga Slate Trail self-guided brochure with map... is available
for a small charge at The Green Room on High Street (opposite the Library) or at
the Courthouse Museum in High Street (open 1-5pm on weekends and public holidays
and 11am-4pm on Tuesday).
RAA members can 'Buy One and Get One FREE' at Willunga Slate Museum and
Courthouse Museum (and most National Trust Museums in SA). Visitors need
to show their current RAA card, pay for one admission and receive another one
free. This is an ideal way to encourage your friends who are not members
of the National Trust to see something of our local heritage, and save on
admission costs. The details are on page 64 of the latest RAA magazine (SA
Motor).
Museum News... Our new Museums flyer has been distributed to Visitor
Information Centres and local outlets. We have also placed an
advertisement on the Willunga page of the Fleurieu Visitors Guide in an effort
to encourage individual visitors. But don’t forget, your ‘word-of-mouth’
recommendation to friends or local groups is probably worth more than
advertising in a visitor centre. So please spread the word!
Willunga National Trust Research Library with Local History Archives and Database...
We continue to provide help with
many requests for family and local history information. We have also received
many donations of photos and documents and this is
greatly appreciated.
The indexing of the archives will start as soon as scanned images have been
checked. Two volunteers (Faye and Tony) recently attended training
sessions for the Collections Mosaic database program installed on our computer;
this was partly sponsored by the Head Office of the National Trust for which we
are grateful.
An index is now available for the 2006 edition of the Willunga Walks book by
Ruth Baxendale and Faye Lush. If you have the 2006 edition and would like
a copy of the index (1 page), phone Faye on 08 8323 7513.

NOTES AND NEWS...
Willunga Linear Park The extensive re-planting of native trees and shrubs
on the Linear Park behind the veterinary clinic is continuing. A successful
Planet Ark planting day was held on 29th July when 20 children from the Enviro-Kids
group from Willunga Primary School worked enthusiastically to put in over 100
plants to complement the earlier plantings. Thanks to everyone involved,
including the Willunga Creeks group and Greening Australia, as well as the City
of Onkaparinga for the removal of non-native trees and the provision of mulch
and tree-guards.
Growers needed. Each year our group grows local species for special
projects in our area. If you are interested in growing a couple of boxes of
trees/shrubs in your backyard to help revegetate our district, please see Julie
Turner at the next meeting.
