HERITAGE PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION 2013

A photographic competition was initiated and sponsored by the Pickering Brook Heritage Group in October 2013 and supported by the Pickering Brook Primary School. Photos had to be taken by the students and had to be related to the heritage of the area. Owing to the interest it created and the quality of the entries this will now become an annual event. Judging was by a professional photographer who was very impressed by the standard of the entries. This made the judging very hard, but there could only be one winner.

The winner entry was taken by Geordie Cole-Radice from Year 5 of an old Metter's stove in the ruins of an old house on one of the earliest orchard properties in the district. It received high praise from the judge.

The winning entry and prize giving was announced at the Karragullen Expo. Unfortunately Geordie was not able to be there but the trophy was presented by the President of the Pickering Heritage Group, Beverley Giumelli, and accepted on Geordie's behalf.

GEORDIE COLE- RADICE Year 5

"I took the picture at Due Jolly Winery, Merrivale Road, Pickering Brook. I took this photo as we were trying to think of something
to do and I came up with the Metters stove. My Dad went to that
house when he was little for afternoon tea with the old lady that
lived there."
