TWO friends of the Wonthaggi Rifle Range Wetlands, recently departed, will be remembered by us all. 
 
Bill Berry, adjoining farmer, was part of the team which revegetated the Rifle Range in 2005. Bill Slade, park ranger, helped with the project and monitored the area over the years. 

Together they moved out cattle which had escaped into the area through kangaroo-damaged fences.  Their last meeting was on such a venture.

Today they have plaques on a seat overlooking the site.

 
Vale the Bills.
