This house, gardens and land were bequeathed to the residents of  Lake Tyers Beach and in trust for perpetuity.  The  East Gippsland Shire has accepted the responsibility of the gift in maintaining it and sustaining it.

Some canvassed ideas-

Community Gardens are not a new idea and have proved their worth in raising interest in active lifestyles, better diets and respect for the environment.

Volunteer organisations, such as the Girl Guides, who are  prepared to work with our youth in positive and constructive also need support with venues for their activities.

Another community based organization that has proved its worth is the Mens Shed concept and this could be of great assistance to our men as well as the community

and Oneonta Community Gardens on Google in general, wow!




Oneonta,
Place of Peace

This valuable facility at Lake Tyers Beach has huge potential as a community asset.  It has the capacity to provide a wide range of support to many groups within our community who currently lack a focus of a "place" to operate through.

The only truly community space in the area that I am aware off is the Community Hall near the Toorloo Arm Primary School, and while other places such as the LTB Caravan Park Chapel, the LTB Angling Club rooms, the local LTB Shop, boat ramps and the Waterwheel Tavern are some examples where people meet and exchange ideas and work together, there are precious few other opportunities to provide for a broader range of activities.

Most importantly though Oneonta could become the embodiment of how the Lake Tyers Beach community feel about and work with it's native environment.  These are extremely important issues if we are to preserve the key values about the community and environment that have brought many of us to Lake Tyers Beach in the first place.

However to kick off this page and give it a more light-hearted focus to begin with, an Oneonta Bragging Page is presented here to promote the Community Garden, what can be achieved and the enjoyment it can give.

Oneonta: Bragging Rights!!!

Conrad Decker with Oneonta produce! To open the score is Conrad Decker with a cracking tomato and a huge marrow.  These monsters were grown in a regular sized plot at Oneonta and are a testimony to what care, good soil preparation and fertilization can produce.

A Frog at Oneonta Don't forget that all our friends of Oneonta are not all humans and that some of the little ones that lurk near by need looking after.

This specimen was in the Green Manure planted by David and fortunately it was harvested by hand and no one was harmed!!!
