Terry used historic photographs provided to the Park by John Fraser whose family farmed the area for many years.
If you have a spare afternoon head down to Killalea State Park, it's a beautiful spot with some great history.

The whole area here is just beautiful isn't it. I also think it's wonderufl that the important landmarks are marked out. We wouldn't want pieces of our history just chucked away into storage and forgotten.
