Historic multimedia tour of Radford & Hooe Lake

On a fairly wet December day in 2009, Kevin Warley local historian and arboretum co-ordinator held an historic tour and walk of the Radford & Hooe Lake area. We recorded some of the talks and discussions to give those that missed it a flavour of what we all discovered during this highly informative and truly historic walk.
