The #1 Creek Timber Project is being hosted by the Kinglake Ranges Mens Shed. The items stolen were donated to the Mens Shed for use by the community at this important project, the value of these two items is around $7,150. The pump and generator were connected to the Toilet & Water facilities for use by the particpants of the project.
