This tapestry was created through a Shellharbour College TAFE oral history project 1983-1985.

Sue Edmond and Jean Clarke, TAFE teachers, initiated the project., which resulted in the publication of an oral history book, 'Oaks and Folks'.

Two tapestries were completed as part of the project. They both depicted Oak Flats past and present. The first tapestry was completed in early 1985.DonorWolfe, Therese
