Club member Chris Whelan recently visited Busselton, where he and Lee explored the newly opened Rotary Remembrance Park, a remarkable project sponsored by the town’s two Rotary Clubs.
The park is beautifully designed, and once the eucalyptus trees reach full maturity, it will be even more stunning.
One of its most moving features is the “Peace Tree,” a gift from the City of Hiroshima. This tree is a second-generation seedling from one that was severely damaged in the atomic blast, yet miraculously sent out new shoots a year later.
If you’re in the area, it’s well worth a 15-minute visit.
