Johnstone+Park

Johnstone park was a swap when white people settled but a few years later it was turned into a dam for horses and bullocks to drink. This was achieved by building a dirt wall around the area. As years passed the wall was made bigger. The wall of the dam was also used as a road. People soon used the dam as a rubbish dump. When some people drowned in the dam a fence was put around the it. In 1872 Mayor Robert de Bruce Johnstone decided to make the dam into a park thus it was named Johnstone park. Jhonsons park is a beautiful place to have picnics. the libary next to Jhonsons park was a fire stasion.
