This play was very appropriate for the Wild Flower Festival as photographer Helen Ogden and her friend Artist Ida Richardson have just published their very popular book
Flowers of Western Australia
This was a very early book about what became one of the most popular discoveries of W.A. Its Wildflowers.
Helen Ogden was the sister-in-law of Elsie Finlayson Ogden the owner of Enderslea Farm. She had come to Western Australia as the 2nd headmistress of Presbyterian Ladies College. When she married Wilfred Ogden she had to resign her position and she bought Enderslea Farm and developed it as an orchard. With the large stone Barn built by Ticket-of-leave men
Red Flowering Gums gives an evocative sense of place to their stories.. the ticket to the performance was$35. this included tea and coffee with a biscuit or two. We hoped that you would visit Bindoon either before or after the play to enjoy all that was done to display its wildflowers.
