Hi Pam, Not sure if Council would be interested in providing funds for such projects. I sometimes wonder if it is worth asking Council to maintain "on occasions" the large family plot of ALBERT HAMLYN WARNER at the Jilliby Cemetery, I have cleaned it up a couple of times in the past, but for a man who owned the entire Wyong Shire and guided Council in planning the future development of the region back in 1917, I would expect a 6 monthly clean up or initial revamp of the plot (maintenance free) wouldn't hurt the bank. The family plot contains Albert, his wife Mary (nee Boyce) who was the daughter of HANNAH PALMER from the Palmer family of Yarramalong (early pioneers), also their daughters Ethel and Eliza Hunt, wife of Frances Hunt. Eliza and Frances had a son Levitt Hunt and Levitt Street in Wyong is named after him, actually Warner named most of the original streets in the Wyong Shire, BOYCE AVE, RENRAW (Warner spelt backwards), WARNER AVE, POLLOCK AVE, (named after his close friend Mr Pollock) and also many of the streets in Warnervale which he named after the American States his son visited while studying at Uni in the US, Minnesota, Louisiana, etc. Warner also built shops in the main Street of Wyong and had his staff maintain the gardens at the Wyong Railway at no cost to Council, he also donated the first Ambulance to Yarramalong and land to the local community for the building of churches, I think it is about time Council returned the favour. Any thoughts on this ???
