Volunteers Week 2020
Without our wonderful volunteers, nothing would get done in our community!
Here’s a quick photographic roundup of some of our gatherings in the last few projects:
ANZAC Day 2020
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 we have had to cancel our ANZAC Day service and gathering.
We hope everyone stays safe and well and we will see you all next year.
Beltana Weir Restoration Project
The Beltana Progress Association set out to restore the weir which crosses Graham’s Creek in the town and restore flow to the dam during rain events. This project is now complete and we have checked the fall and 'when' we have rain it will flow into the dam.
Beltana Station kindly returned the stones from the weir that were removed in the 1970s to the site to enable the project to go ahead.
DPTI replaced the culvert which failed a few weeks before the project commenced.
We have been supported by SA Water, assisted with technical support from Gary Fuchs, earth moving and Ron Johnson for stone masonry. A trusty band of volunteers mixed mortar and flushed off stones. The water trailer was invaluable to clean up the rocks.
A number of people have asked what the bolts are in the stones. We believe they originally supported a fence to keep stock out of the weir and dam.
Small Halls 2020 - Lovely Night before Lockdown
The community gathered at the Beltana Assembly Hall and enjoyed an evening of music and dancing thanks to the Festival of Small Halls. Two wonderful acts were enjoyed by all and we hope that we can host the event again next year.
Thanks to the PIRSA Community Event Funding agreement for providing support to make this night possible.
