Lindsay and Jean King plaque
Transcription
In memory / of / Lindsay and Jean King
Few have shown such passion and enthusiasm as Lindsay and Jean King for / Cranbourne, for local history and for Australian culture. Together for more / than 60 years, they used their talents to entertain and educate local school / children in the ways of the early Aussie pioneers, and worked tirelessly to / preserve local history as well as promote tourism to the area.
As a ‘town crier’, Lindsay appeared at many local events – as the man-in-charge / of ‘the pioneers’ group, with his fantastic collection of pioneer implements, / and his ability to entertain and tell yarns. They were involved in raising the / profile of the Tooradin Fisherman’s Cottage Museum, Cranbourne’s meteorite / display and many annual events like Australia Day, as well as being involved / with the Cranbourne & District Residents Association, / and the Cranbourne Shire Historical Society.
Lindsay was a great Australian ‘larrikin’ with a wonderful sense of humour. He / and Jean were legends among those who knew them for their community work / in the City of Casey and especially in Cranbourne.
Together Jean & Lindsay King had an immense impact on our community.
Jean King passed away August 2006 & Lindsay King in February 2007.
This floral clock commemorates their achievements.
