  • Description: [...]exchanges supported the scientific work of these institutions with herbarium specimens, botanical illustrations, and wet specimens transiting across states, colonies and empires in a quest to map the botanical world. [...]the impulse of the council was just the opposite - they slavishly followed the survey lines of the towns by imposing graded surfaces across the landscape. According to local environmentalist Barbara Fahey, the oldest trees are those in Victoria Street, which also houses the oldest municipal buildings, the post office, the court house and the police barracks.2 Regardless, it was clear that this was a project that enjoyed a majority community support. [...]of committed nurturing of this urban aesthetic the festival has always attracted many visitors to the town.
