Kangaroo Islands Margrie road

NEW ANTIQUE ROCKING KANGAROO

We have a new toy out the front of Emu Ridge in our family friendly area. This one has a lot of history to it. Larrys parents Molly and Ralph Turner are friends with Royce and Anne Margrie who once lived on Kangaroo Island but have lived on the mainland for many years now. The Kangaroo popped up on market place and I enquired about it, from there we found out this amazing story of connection to Kangaroo Island and the Turners.

The story of our Kangaroo Antique Rocking Horse – message from Tricia, Royce and Anne Margrie’s daughter. Royce is  Clarries second son.

“Nice to know he is going to a good home, he will be used well and is kind of staying in the family!
Anne Margrie built him at TAFE in c1988, so he was built well and with love.
Many thanks again Bev from Tricia

Thanks the kids are going to love him!
