Using recycled materials that he could source, Mason has built himself a bar, and garden screen for his fire pit in the family’s back yard.

Year 7 English: 'Anzac Day' By Siona Atkinson-Solomon My great grandfather, Frederick Lovett fought in the World War One and World War Two with his three brothers. The Lovett brothers have been recognised for their commitment to their country by the renaming of The Department of Veteran’s Affairs Building in Canberra to the Lovett Tower. When the brothers came home from fighting in the war, they weren’t given the same rights as the non-Aboriginal soldiers. The brothers still enlisted despite not being recognised as Australian citizens. When they returned from fighting overseas there was a soldier settlement. The brothers weren’t offered land upon their return and their application for land was denied. The land that was denied to them under the scheme was part of their traditional lands at Lake Condah. They are the first family group to be inducted onto the Victorian Aboriginal Honour Roll.
