Old Colonists Association of Victoria

Ms WARD: I was lucky enough to be invited to join Leith Park resident Lorraine Wall to bury a time capsule at Leith Park in St Helena in celebration of the 150-year anniversary of the Old Colonists Association of Victoria. Lorraine is vibrant at 91 and has loved living at Leith Park for 29 years. The Old Colonists at Leith Park are doing wonderful things, whether it is in their community garden, their seniors exercise yard—the only one in a retirement village in Victoria—the new 6-star energy efficient apartments or their lovely little vehicle that takes residents up and down the hills. There is a great sense of community at Leith Park, and it is fantastic to see it grow from strength to strength.
