POUND BEND ORCHARD - Physical Description 1
The former coolstore is a large gabled roofed fibro-cement shed of utilitarian design. There is also a weatherboard and fibro house, garage and sheds, two water tanks (at least one of which is recent) located at some distance to the south of the former coolstore, together with an English Oak (Quercus robur) and two remnant orchard trees (these appear to be dead). To the north of the coolstore fenced revegetation areas include former orchard land, evidence being 3-4 remnant fruit trees (probably apples, Malus sp.) some of which are recent seedling, and clear corrugations in the ground surface which may relate to the former planting layout. New, native seedlings have been planted in the trenches (while the fruit trees are generally located in the raised areas), so some further earthworks may have been undertaken by Parks Victoria
