Q: Lake Pertobe was transformed from swamp land to playground in what decade?
Saturday April 11 Answer.
A: The Shamrock.
The Shamrock Hotel was an important place in the life and times of Dennington.
The pub was popular with locals and visitors, thanks to its authentic old school charm.
The Shamrock opened in 1869 and was built by Thomas Smith, a pioneer of the district.
The Shamrock benefitted from the Nestles factory just down the road, a place that at one time employed 1000 people.
It was a popular watering hole for many on their way home from work.
The Shamrock closed its doors for the last time in 2011.
