History

This portion of land in the centre of town has never been developed. In 1972 the Brunswick Lions Club formed a plan to recognise the contribution of the dairy industry to the town and district. The selection of a Friesian cow to represent the district has been taken up enthusiastically and is now a symbol of the town. Local members of the Lions club erected a plinth for 'Daisy' the cow and painted the cow its recognisable colours and was formally opened on 11 July 1973.

A wishing well was erected on the site in 1988 as a joint project of the Shire of Harvey and the Australian Bicentennial Authority to recognise the pioneers of the district.
