The place represents a way of life and continuity of the sport and the
community.
Steel clad shed and tennis courts
When the Holt Rock and Lake Carmody settlements
were in their early days, community meetings took place in the bough shed at the tennis courts. The
tennis club was formed at the site in the early 1930s. The bough sheds disappeared a long time ago
but the community still gathers at the tennis courts for tennis. The courts have been upgraded over
the years.
In close proximity to the tennis courts was the hessian, canvas and sapling dwelling of the Bank
Inspector Frank Collet. In about 1932 or 1933, the Francis family lived there until their home was
completed in 1937. (ref No.)
