A community service committee of Cairns West Rotary, under the direction of Jim McDowall and Em Stephens combined with the students of Balaclava State School in a project to beautify the school grounds. A swampy comer of the school grounds was filled and the pupils instructed how to correctly plant hibiscus and bougainvillea’s to be trained to produce a rising sun effect. The necessary shrubs were provided by the Club and the soil to fill the swampy area was donated by Fred Moule.
