Q: Brothers Leon and Bernie Harris played for which Hampden league team before playing for Fitzroy?
Monday April 13 Answer.
A: The 1970s.
Talks around transforming Lake Pertobe from a swamp to a playground began in the 1960s, but the real work started in the 1970s.
Warrnambool City Council had a vision, but it turned out to be a long and Herculean task.
It took the whole decade to get the job done, before Lake Pertobe offically opened in 1980.
A feature of the park was the wooden playground apparatus and the motor and pedal boats on the water.
