Nyah Reserve a place of joy

I WRITE to express my gratitude to all those responsible for the vision that created the Nyah Recreation Reserve and its surrounding precinct.

To all those who contribute to its ongoing place in the social life of this community by way of active care, enhancement and maintenance, thank you.

You have a social asset of considerable worth in your midst.

In a world sometimes made very challenging by its divisions, this high value community space is the domain of all in the community, irrespective of their station in life.

It truly is a joyous location in which to find oneself.

With its majestic red gums, beautiful river backdrop and restful areas and enclaves, in which one can take a break from the rigours of the human journey, it’s a natural balm.

In these pressing times, places of peace and rest grow in their importance.

The community should hold its head high for providing for us all.

My gratitude is so very sincere.
