My, how they’ve grown!

On 16 September 1992, several Alexandria Palms were planted during landscaping works in front of Gympie’s Town Hall at Fiveways, in Nash’s Gully at the foot of Calton, Caledonian and Palatine Hills. They join the James Nash memorial, a time capsule and flagpole, all still remaining to this day. The Town Hall surroundings have seen much change over its lifetime.
