About this rest area

Gheerulla Pioneer Park, located in the Kenilworth District, serves as an enduring tribute to the region's pioneer farmers. Donated by Burt Sims, with the aid of Federal Drought Relief funds and volunteer effort, the park was established in 1979. Sadly, Burt passed away in 1981 before a memorial plaque he envisioned could be placed. Nevertheless, visitors are welcomed into the park by the rock Burt had picked, symbolizing his unwavering dedication. Head to Gheerulla Pioneer Park for a serene, historical retreat that honors the past while embracing community spirit.

Gheerulla Pioneer Park serves as an enduring tribute to the pioneer farmers of the Kenilworth District, graciously donated by Bert Sims. Mr. Sims, an esteemed councillor at the time, resourcefully applied Federal Drought Relief funds and enlisted the help of volunteers to materialize this unique dream in 1979. Unfortunately, Mr. Sims passed away in 1981, missing the erection of the commemorative plaque he had envisioned on a distinguished rock at the park entrance. However, his spirit lives on in this cherished park, a testament to the rich history and indelible work of the pioneering farmers of the Kenilworth District.
