Hi there any former Holmesglen Hostel residents. My name is John Wallis, and I and my family (Mum, Dad, 2 sisters Elaine and Denise, and 1 brother Mark) arrived at Holmesglen in early Febuary 1967. We came by plane, via Darwin and Sydney. We hadn't even landed in Melbourne and we on the news. Our plane got a flat tyre on take-off from Sydney and when we arrived in Melbourne,we were greeted by fire and ambulance emergency. We weren't told until we landed that there was a problem. We stayed on the hostel for 2 years, but I didn't mind being there as I was 17, and had a great time. I met my wife there (she's a Geordy but I won't hold that against her!) If anyone out there remembers me our any of my family or was on the hostel from 1967-1969, please reply. |

Hi Wally
I too have been trying to find old Holmesglen people. unfortunately none have turned up here yet, until you anyway.
We left the hostel in Jan 1967 so we just missed, but some of the people you met would have been there when we left. _________________ Tony O'Hara
