DescriptionThis artist's impression was printed in the March12, 1975 'Leader'.
The Cloustonville facility would open in November, and cost $400 000;$300 000 had been made available, and the Salvation Army acknowledged help from the Licensing Commission and the business community. It would replace the current site, which consisted of a house surrounded by huts.
Modern facilities would be provided for alcoholics who voluntarily presented themselves for recuperation, with work therapy beginning after a first rest period of around a week. initially, it would be only for men.
The 32-acre site had been presented by Sir Clifford Plimmer.
The Salvation Army seems to have left; one of the buildings, Antler Lodge, similar to an open plan tramping hut, offers self-service accommodation for up to 10 people.
