Tree plantings honour centenarians
Fraser Coast Regional Council is continuing to recognised its centenarian residents with ceremonial tree plantings celebrating their 100th birthday, a practice started by the former Maryborough City Council prior to amalgamation. The latest resident to be honoured is Moya Bowman, who will plant a Queensland Firewheel Tree (Stenocarpus sinuatus) in Tiaro Memorial Park. The plantings (which are complemented by a plaque with the centenarian's name and birth date) are arranged at the request of the families.
