00:00 About six months ago we looked at what we could do for the Baird family and Bernie's
00:08 VC winner.
00:09 We wanted someone who'd been awarded the highest honour in Australia.
00:15 We wanted to find out what we could do and the centre taff in the Bernie Park, perfect
00:20 spot for naming it after Cam.
00:24 I guess the council were lucky that it's owned by council.
00:29 It's owned by the community, the park.
00:31 It's a private road.
00:33 So we actually didn't need the approval from Place Names Tasmania so we were able to still
00:38 go ahead and looking forward to unveiling the name with the Baird family on the weekend.
