Our bus took kids to St. Mary's, Williamstown Girls' and Williamstown Tech.
I remember travelling with Louis, Noreen and Mary-Jo McManus, David Williams, Paul and Peter Tibos, Annika, John and Paul DeKoning, Hector Perconte, John, Jim and George Higgins, Carl and Margaret Findlay, Linda and Simon Cook,a little girl with snowy hair named Adele, and a Scottish family named Johnson that included twins. They all went to St.Marys.
The other schools were well-represented by Mintos, McLeods and Mackays.
We used to sing Beatles songs non-stop, in between quarrelling. Cool

I also travelled on that bus as I went to Willy Girls, so did the Westhead girls. It was a bloody long walk along Kororoit Creek Road, expecially in winter, if I dawdled after school and missed the bus. lol

She was born in 1954 so what would that make her. \Richard was a cheeky bugger so you probably had bad memories of him, he lives in Werribee and has three girls, one of them was just up here visiting with me with her 3 year old daughter.

That would have made her 9 or 10 when she went to seaholme,I was 3 years older so would not have known her that well if at all .

Do you remember the big bump on that bridge over Kororoit Creek, if you sat on the back seat of the bus you just about hit the roof
