Ms GREEN (Yan Yean) (10:05): I rise to pay tribute to the wonderful Gayle Corr OAM, who was remembered in a wonderful memorial service at the first post-COVID gathering at the Arthurs Creek Mechanics Institute, which was really Gayle’s second home along with the Arthurs Creek and Strathewen fire brigade. It was a beautiful event, together with the Corr family—Pat Corr, sons Nick and Chris and their partners and grandchildren. It was beautifully MCed by Peter Nankervis. Sue Aldred spoke about Gayle’s contribution to the Stringybark nursery, which they together worked to establish after the terrible fires of Black Saturday. Stringybark nursery have donated the most wonderful plants, and a plaque was unveiled in memory of Gayle with the garden.
