COBDEN Cemetery Trust member Trevor Roberts has been busy putting together Australian Flags for a special project.
For the second time, Cobden Technical School students are leading a project with the assistance of the Cobden Cemetery Trust, and this year the Cobden Primary School, to temporarily install
Australian flags beside the graves of men and women who served in War.
“There’s 40 flags up at the moment and there’s another 30 more to go we think,” he said.
“It’s (the Cobden Australian flag comme-moration project) really taken off. The kids all did well last year.”
Mr Roberts said all the flags would be installed on Monday, April 4 at about 11.30am with the community invited to watch if they wished, with an official ceremony to be held in the lead up to Anzac Day.
“We’re looking forward to it,” he said.
“The Cobden Cemetery Trust members will be helping the kids get the flags up.
“It’s just a great things for the kids to be involved in.”
Full details of the ceremony will be in next week’s edition of the Cobden Timboon Coast Times.
