There used to be an arboretum along from the Pakenham Hotel out on the road to Upper Beaconsfield, can anyone enlighten me as to when it was established and why it was left to ruin. I saw the dilapidated sign some years ago and now the sign has gone too. The sign had all the names of environmental groups who were involved in the establishment of the arboretum.
