Members of Rotary Brisbane Water have stepped in to help protect one of the region’s most cherished landmarks.
Volunteers from the club recently secured protective tarps to the roof of the historic Henry Kendall Cottage at West Gosford after the building suffered damage during the severe weather conditions that swept through the area in June.
Past President Mitchell Gordon praised the collaborative effort that saw Rotarians from multiple clubs come together for the important preservation work.
“It was a wonderful team effort, with members from The Entrance, Gosford and Kincumber clubs joining forces to tackle the job,” he said.
Henry Kendall Cottage, a much-loved tourist attraction that draws visitors interested in the region’s rich heritage, has been temporarily protected while more permanent repairs are undertaken.
The Brisbane Water Historical Society is currently working through the process of replacing the cottage’s traditional shingled roof.
Tourists can still tour the cottage and discover its historical significance throughout the renovation.
