Anyone up for a barbie there in the summer? We could sneak one in before the reunion, and come back to my place for a cuppa after. |
You still up for the barbie and cuppa Judith? The weather is getting warmer now. Look forward to it in the new year. _________________ Resident of Altona Hostel, 1963-1965 |

JUST BEDROOMS ALONG ONE SIDE OF HUT - NO LOUNGE/DINING, NO ACCESS TO CHILDRENS BEDROOMS OTHER GOING OUT IN THE RAIN TO DOOR 2 OR 3 ROOMS ALONG (FIXED BY CUTTING OPENINGS). NO PATHS UNTIL MEN AND SONS PULLED UP PAVERS TO CREATE SAME. DINING IN DINING ROOM UNDER GRANDSTAND. TOILET/SHOWER BLOCK OVER BY KORIOT CREEK(DONT ASK). BARBERS SHOP IN OLD TOTE BUILDING. I WENT TO WILLIAMSTOWN STATE SCHOOL. GRADE 4 (MECHANICS INSTITUTE) FOR 1 DAY. GRADE 5 BOYS 2/3MONTHS AND FINISHED THE YEAR WITH PETER COVENTRY IN GRADE 6 GIRLS. DO WE REGRET ANY OF THIS? NOT ON YOUR LIFE. THIS PROVIDED A WONDERFUL LIFE FOR ME. MY 5 CHILDREN AND NOW 18 GRANDCHILDREN. DENIS ALLEN 0419131489 |

Sounds bloody awful, in the 60's we at least had a dining room nearby but same sleeping accommodation. Are you coming to our reunion? |

Hello Dennis, I believe you had a lengthy conversation with my son David a few weeks ago. He phoned me about the article you put in the paper and was very interested.
I did send an e-mail regarding this.
A family named Rimmers came to Australia in 1951 to Williamstown.
Hope you enjoy the site...
Regards Olwen.. |
