TEXT THE EDITOR3

THE LOVEDAY camp has been on the heritage list since 1988.

On July 1, 2010, still nothing has happened, even after I was told the Berri Barmera council would push ahead with getting a heritage listing for the camp sites.
With water in short supply and grapes hard to sell at low prices, now is a golden opportunity to spread the word to get tourists to come to our area.
Why not use what we have to bring the Riverland back to life, get government grants and restore what was here.
Over a number of years I have been collecting information about the camps. I have a large collection of history from former internees' families, some of which I have passed on to the Barmera National Trust for safekeeping.
Anybody who would like to donate information or artefacts from the war years to the National Trust would be welcomed and issued with a receipt.
They will not go into a backyard collection. The public has a right to view our history at a place like the Barmera National Trust.
Please help us to show that part of our history to others and encourage them to bring others to our great area. Let us be proud of what we have and show it off.
