Heritage day – Willow Court Tasmania

Aldo Fabian the writer of Women of the Willow; Guest Speaker

Friends of Willow Court met last Thursday night with Aldo Fabian the writer of Women of the Willow, a play in three acts which was last presented at Willow Court in 2011. He talked to the Friends of Willow Court about the possibility of future involvement at the site. With a rich history of dramatic arts and tourist ventures here and in New South Wales he will be a welcome addition to the team. We can’t wait to see what can happen. So many stories can be told of life in the early colonial times through too much closer history, from all angles and from many people whom have come into contact with this historic precinct.

The committee also put forward a draft terms of reference for Council to approve and discussed future Heritage Events for this year.

The minutes will be up on the Council Website as soon as they are approved at the next meeting.

Frescati House Plan

February 1, 2013 No Comments

This was the House Plan that was on display on the Sunday Heritage Day. It shows past structures and rooms combined. Looking at the current shot (right) taken from the fire escape of “E” Ward this has been a substantial reduction in the structure. The areal shot (left) confirms the plans. All the out buildings have now gone. Margaret’s Richards, Dr Brothers daughters conversation is now loaded on the “audio tab” Click HERE.
