THE Mount Elephant committee was kept busy during November with various activities.
Committee secretary Lesley Brown said Trinity College from Colac brought its year 8 students in three groups over three days to learn about the Mount, geological and local history.
“These visits were part of a three-day program where the students went to Cape Otway and Tower Hill alternating,” she said.
“After many months of COVID restrictions they were very happy to get out in the outdoors and explore the area.
“We also had a visit from a four-wheel drive club, and hosted a Dining Room Tales lunch at the visitor centre.”
Mrs Brown said the committee was successful in obtaining funding through the Federal Government for the Queens Jubilee Platinum Commemorations to plant 600 trees around the new base track.
“We planted two trees and placed a plaque on-site to commemorate this event,” she said.
