I was Twelve years old when my family and I sailed on the SS Strathnaver. We stayed at Berkeley Hostel and I often wonder what happened to people I used to know there. Would love to hear anything about a girl called Pat Jeffreis or Jeffrey

Happy New Year

Hi Rob and welcome.
Happy new year to you too, it great having you here. I too was only a young 9yr old going on 10 when our family arrived at Unanderra hostel back in 1967 and as kids me and my brother had a blast. My parents also enjoyed there once in a life time experience. I bet many other ex resident wonder the same things.

It�s a strange feeling having had many memories of the hostel life, yet when you tell people about it they look at you in somewhat disbelief and the worse thing is, there�s no one around who can back you up and say, yeah, it was like that. I sometimes think back and wonder, was it all a dream, was it real? Mr. Green
