When the Lone Gum Area had been cleared in
1914, the next step was the costruction of the down channels. This work
called for a large body of men, who were chiefley accomadated at a camp
situated on the dry land above Block 301, and east and west of it. As
extra land was needed for soldier settlement, the channels were extended
across the Renamrk-morgan road, and the new area, surveyed by July 1920,
was called Monash. |
