I lived in 81D and 83d Nissan Hut. Sandra Antouny (ne paterson) lived in the other end of the Hut in 81a and b (big family), but a few years before me. Anyone else remember the hut number? _________________ East Hills Hostel Aug 1966 to 1968. Nissen Huts 81 and 83d |

Tks for putting them together Len, saves me doing it. Im going to make an effort to embelish that drawing. eg, the soccer field, the shop, the laundry, the nursery (both of them) etc.
Turns out that Marion Gilbert also stayed in Nissan 83 as well! Few years different though. _________________ East Hills Hostel Aug 1966 to 1968. Nissen Huts 81 and 83d |
