FRIENDS of the Bonnie Doon cemetery held a working bee on Saturday to do an annual spring cleaning.

Tree limbs were lopped, whipper snipping around grave sites carried out and a new rose garden planted at the memorial wall section, as well as work at the lawn section.

Bill Romans said the Mansfield Shire had been a great support, and Maurie Stinchcombe had made new steel crosses to mark graves, replacing wooden crosses which were deteriorating.

A barbecue lunch followed the working bee with meat gratefully donated from Alpine Butchery.
