it’s a good reminder to check in on those around you.

INTERESTING FACTS
• A single quenda can turn over approximately 4m3
of soil every year. This both improves the amount
of organic matter in the soil and simultaneously
reduces fine fuel loads, making the bushland
healthier and safer.
• Quenda also play a significant role in dispersing
fungal spores throughout the bushland.

Share your story
Where we live is part of our own story, of who we are,
and we form strong connections to places that we
frequent. Places hold memories, they can remind us of
loved ones, evoke emotions and take us back in time.
As part of Claremont Museum’s new exhibition Ten Stories,
we invite you to share some places that are special to you in
Claremont. Do you remember swimming at the Claremont Baths,
lining up for a Bovell’s pie or cheering on the Claremont Tigers to
victory? Perhaps it is a more personal place; a walk you take with
your dog or a favourite house?
Rosemary Morris, a longtime Claremont resident, Swanbourne
Primary School teacher and Tigers supporter, has fond memories
of her childhood home on Langsford Street.
"My brother, Danny, and I were lucky enough
to grow up in the same street as our four
cousins who we played with constantly:
especially at Rowe Park across the road and
catching tadpoles at Butler’s Swamp! But my
special place would have been my bedroom
with my timber dresser, fireplace and huge
doll house, built by my Dad." Rosemary
