Mr Duthie has championed those who have been integral to the project, and to the fabric of the vibrant Mount Pleasant community.<\/p>\n
\u201cI pay tribute to Ballarat Neighbourhood Centre\u2019s Kate Owen, who… provided leadership and guidance, as well as a wealth of support to the group throughout the project, providing a link to City of Ballarat. Her enthusiasm and professional approach kept us all going,\u201d Mr Duthie said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNeither the Discover Historic Mount Pleasant brochure, nor the standing historic signs erected around Mountie, would contain the images and text that they do without the input of Dr Bill Garner.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn accomplished historian and author, Bill was the consultant historian to MPHG from the beginning of the group and throughout the life of the project. He researched and gathered much of the information and images that form the bulk of both the brochure and signs, aided by myself and other proof-readers.\u201d<\/p>\n
The tram mural was the vision of Bernadette Duffy, and graphic artist Peter Lambert designed the brochure and signs.<\/p>\n
Recently, MPHG was also a finalist in the community section of the Keep Victoria Beautiful Awards.<\/p>\n
COVID-19 restrictions permitting, MPHG meetings are being held at the Ballarat Observatory, a Mount Pleasant icon.<\/p>\n
MPHG encourages people within 10 kilometres of Mount Pleasant to enjoy the Discover Historic Mount Pleasant trail and the Mount Pleasant Reserve\u2019s seniors exercise equipment as part of their outdoor iso activities.<\/p>\n
