Centenary Sculptures at IOOF Park的点评
点评：Oh yes I was curious ... what on earth was the IOOF? The Independent Order of Oddfellows was established in NSW in 1836. It was originally a mutual benefit society that provided aid to members in times of sickness and unemployment; these benefits were obtained through joining fees and ongoing subscriptions. Upon joining, prospective members had to sign a form stating that they and their wife were of sound health, and pass means, religious and moral tests.
Local lodge members then voted on the suitability of the prospective member by placing a black or white ball in the ballot box; if more than three black balls were returned the prospective member was rejected, hence the term blackballing. If a prospective member was blackballed one more vote to assess his suitability was allowed, and those who voted against him the first time were required to state their reasons for doing so. So yes... they were odd!
But let's move forward... this park is roadside with some rather elegant sculptures in it ...but I feel the park should really have more information about the IOOF because THAT is where the fascination lies. Still, it's worth stopping a few moments to look around.

翻译：哦，是的，我很好奇……IOOF 究竟是什么？ Independent Order of Oddfellows 于 1836 年在新南威尔士州成立。它最初是一个互惠互利的社会，在生病和失业时为成员提供帮助；这些好处是通过加入费和持续订阅获得的。加入后，准成员必须签署一份表格，说明他们和他们的妻子身体健康，并通过经济、宗教和道德测试。
然后，当地的分会会员通过在投票箱中放置一个黑色或白色的球来对未来会员的适合性进行投票；如果返回三个以上的黑球，则潜在成员将被拒绝，因此称为 blackballing。如果一名潜在成员被否决，则允许再投一票来评估他是否适合，而那些第一次投票反对他的人必须说明他们这样做的理由。所以是的……他们很奇怪！
但是让我们继续前进......这个公园在路边，里面有一些相当优雅的雕塑......但我觉得公园真的应该有更多关于 IOOF 的信息，因为这就是魅力所在。尽管如此，还是值得停下来四处看看。
