An historic structure along the Tooradin foreshore has been restored to its former glory.
The shelter is thought to have been built in the 1930s as part of the original Tooradin camping grounds.
The Tooradin Foreshore Committee of Management decided not to apply for a grant to fund the works.
“It was easier to get on with it and do it ourselves,” secretary Ross Wilkie said.
He said the upgrades were vital to keep up with the demand for foreshore use.
“Tooradin is becoming even more popular with people from Clyde as that area grows,” he said.
“In a busy time, you can’t move down here.”
New Perspex windows, a new roof and repainted ceiling and walls have left the structure ready for guests post-Covid-19.
“This is very popular with disabled and support groups. We have a lot of people coming down in buses and using this as their base when Covid isn’t around,” Mr Wilkie said.
