Margery Anderson Reserve

This is a great picnic spot close to Leura. BACKSTORY: In 1944 Yester Grange was purchased by Margery and James Anderson - it had been vacant since 1938. Margery was an Alderman of the Blue Mountains City Council for sixteen years and was the founder of the Pioneer Way Association. A small park in Scott Avenue at the entrance to Leura commemorates her name. Their daughter Joy later continued this tradition of service to the community when she became an Alderman and Mayor of the Blue Mountains Council. Margery died in 1973 and Jim lived in the Gatehouse for some time before selling Yester Grange and moving to a house he had built nearby. Jim died in 1990.cnic spot
