The park is a memorial park, dedicated to fallen CFA (Country Fire Association) fire fighters from the Panton Hill Fire Station who fought in the Ash Wednesday bushfires, 1983.
In these small towns the Fire Station is as much a focal point as the football, cricket, post office & local store. And for each home town the members are made up of locals who in the event of fire, become volunteer firefighters.
The connection is a personal one. Aside from looking after the park when I was at Uni. A school mates brother. another school mates father and another I went to school with, all lost there lives in Ash Wednesday.
