Friday and Saturday were very busy for 15 volunteers, who worked over the two days with Count Rudi Paoletti, under the auspices of Jamieson and District Historical Society board member Karen Alderson, who was instrumental in organising the erection of the refurbished historical places signs.
The signs had deteriorated over the years from weather damage.
Twenty nine brand new signs were erected at their original sites from corner of Chenery Street, to the Island, from the arboretum, to the school to the cemetery.
Grey, Nash and Brown streets all have signs.
It was a herculean effort with Jamieson volunteers, Nick and Grant from Howqua and Rudi’s team.
They worked for the two days.
Lunch was provided by Andy at the general store; local home owners Maureen and Jim Doig were delighted to pick up the luncheon bill, provided to eat at the Memorial Hall.
The new signage will delight walkers who often walk the ‘Historical Places Walk’ around Jamieson.
Thank you to those involved, your generosity of time, labor and funds was exemplary.
Congratulations on a job well done.

Last week principal Sonja, the teaching staff and students of Jamieson Primary school welcomed back Mr Joel Wilson for a day. Past and present students all enjoyed his fun approach to learning.
It was the first opportunity for him to admire the new renovations to the school.
Earlier in the week the students walked down to the Big Pool Playground by the river.
While they were there, they saw Tom Bennet from the Jamieson Caravan Park, cutting the lower limbs from a large tree.
It wasn’t long before it became a community effort, the students enjoyed helping Tom by dragging the cut branches onto a large pile.
The first bought lunches for the school students from the General Store, was a great hit with the chicken and chips packs proving very popular.

The cheque is to be presented to the school on Friday March 8.
This is looking to be a major event.
Congratulations.
