The heavy equipment moves in to clear scrub at Jessop White Park
City of Whyalla garden crews have been busy this week giving Jessop White Park a bit of a spruce up and some tree maintenance.
An area of trees and shrubs around the tank had got a bit unsightly and some of the low shrubs were dying and getting hard to maintain. These trees and bushes were originally put there to screen the tank.
