Australian Korean Monument In R.A.A.F. Reserve Mount Druitt ' whyilovemountdruitt Face Book Page

The new Australian Korean monument in the *R.A.A.F. reserve Mount Druitt. Bounded by Carlisle Avenue, Woodstock Avenue and Belmore Avenue , with some off street parking in Belmore avenue. A new drinking tap is also located in the grass pathway leading to the monument. All we need now are native gardens from both counties . Personally I am very proud to see this. Such a fabulous gesture of good will and a book mark to part of our true history. The photos were just taken at random and placed in no special order or edited.

This is from I am Community in 4/71 Kurrajong Ave Mount Druitt. All they ask is a $20 donation. All of their frozen goodies have long expiry/best before date. I checked one by one and all have 2019/2020 bbd. The haagen daz ice cream is already $9 in the shops. Definitely worth checking them out. I went in to try and purchase the $10/kg prawns but unfortunately all gone at 10 am. I need to be early next time. Can’t wait to try the mini chicken kiev balls.

“Hangi in the Country II provides a wonderful opportunity for 



our community to enjoy themselves and to socialise with 



visitors from our sister city across a range of events. Council 



looks forward to as many locals as possible participating,” 



Councillor Hope said.

“The Blacktown community and their Council are providing 



significant support to our community during the current 



drought 
crisis, including purchasing a new, high capacity tank that will be fitted to a Council truck to allow us to cart potable water, a very generous gesture indeed,” he said.


“Their co-funding with LPSC also allows Hangi in the Country 



to be staged and the visitors will also provide a welcome 



economic boost to many of our businesses during these tough 



times. The event will provide a great opportunity to thank them 



for their substantial support, so let’s ensure we show them a 



great time,” Councillor Hope concluded.
