Above: There was an entrance then.  It was blocked off and now there is a big notice board on this wall.

Long ago before the Girls School moved down the road, 109 years to be precise, girls played hockey at our school.  It must've been uncomfortable running in those long dresses.  How times have changed!

The only building I can identify with certainty (because I don't possess any directional genes) is Friedenheim, top right.  If you can identify any other's, please let me know.

Interesting Jeppe history - Mystery of another wall!

I am currently doing research to find out about the retaining wall that supports the top field that runs alongside the Memorial Hall and the Innovation Hub. There is a story told that it is the longest dry- stacked wall ........ built by Italian Prisoners of War.

Initially I was focusing on this wall .....

...... until I came across this photo of a hurdler. Look behind his bicycle. There is another wall running at an angle going the other way. Right where the Memorial Hall is built now. I wonder if they just covered it up or did they remove it. Is it still there?

How many other walls are hiding in the Jeppe Landscape. We need LIDAR!!
