Make sure we bring along a few magnifying glasses, as I am looking at these pictures I have managed to pry out of my mums old albums and without a magnifying glass you wont be able to tell who is who, the photos havent weathered too well over the ages. Some I couldnt get out without wrecking the photos and as I am travelling light down to Melbourne I am afraid they will have to stay in the albums, to show to people who may come up this way from time to time.

I found a Seaholme Primary School website and a couple of people I knew from altona are on there, I have joined, I was hoping to see a couple of hostel peoples names but none were on there, I have sent a Link to Carol and Nan as they both went to that school for a little while.

I even picked up a photo of me on a Scottish school website, the choir at my old school in 1960 just before we left for Australia. Couldnt find a williamstown High Web site unfortunately

I've looked at all the neighbouring schools as well, and the lack of hostel kids is like they never existed! I only found one, and will contact him.

Smart thinking. I'm glad I was never a manager, there's never enough money to make up for the loss of freedom it can bring.
