SPRING PRECINCT
1960Package consists of three A5? pages of sketches of the area directly behind (west of the Barracks with numbered positioning of proposed "indigenous plants". Also one A3 showing a map of the type of trees proposed for the length of the Spring from the Spring Road to the Railway line. Also two sheets with brief descriptions of trees, soils and heights.
in 1840 sheep were first brought to the Kojonup district. Shepherds were engaged (in early times) to supervise stock grazing native grasses on unfenced land, adjacent to a spring river or water hole. Bells were attached to selected animals for the purpose of more easily locating them. The earliest type of fence was post and rail. Wooden troughs were sometimes used for watering animals. Troughs maybe seen near the spring in the valley below the Barracks.
