READ NOW“It is my pleasure especially here in the company of Rodger’s wife Judy and her family to officially re-name the tower; The Rodger Hamilton Wildflower Lookout Tower,” she said.
Councillor Bob Thompson said Rodger emanated the club’s motto.
“Service above self,” he said.
“His approach to everything he did was quiet and unassuming.”
Kwinana Rotary Public Relations Officer James Sharkey and member Eric Blogg said it was apt to name it after its creator.
“Rodger supervised the construction, assembly off site and on-site installation using materials and labour made available courtesy of BHP Steel on the Kwinana strip,” they said.
“In the final phase two 20 tonne semi-trailers and a twenty tonne crane slowly made their way via a sandy track to install the 11-metre tower.”
“The tower has tremendous views of the reserve, particularly now with all the wildflowers in bloom.”
