Both Doreen and Nora remember the fire, Nora remember her mum ironing also at the time, and her running for her life thinking a big ball of fire was going to drop on top of her. Also when the fire was on Linda Myers was running down the back beach with her record player in her hands, how funny is that

I remember being near the office when the big ball of fire went up,there was a load of people there it seemed to be a meeting place,maybe it was a designated fire spot,as nearly every body in the hostel was there,it was then that my dad went and got the car,but we couldnt find Linda and somebody told us that she was running up towards mobiltown,so we picked her up on the way, ( with her beloved tape recorder )

I think we need some new members to add a bit of new info, does anyone ever see anyone who we can get on board and add some stuff, there must be some silent members somewhere logging on and just reading the posts, rack your memory, I am still waiting for Anne and Janet Shaw to come online and put some memories in here.

Wasn't someone going to be getting in touch with the Westheads? What happened to that.

I've noticed that Caroline has gone very quiet, and am wondering if everything is ok with her. I've sent her a message in Facebook.

Carol, we are all still eager for the reunion too, but as Pat says, we've run out of relevant information, so new blood is needed. We need to figure out how we can find some of our "lost" friends.

Don't worry Eileen, we're not abandoning it. Now we'll just need to start chatting about current events in our lives. Smile

The date has been decided on, has the place been chosen to have the said reunion.

I agree the site has quietened down after the flourish of postings. Last photo has not been posted either.

Regards Olwen cry
