Hi there, I dont remember your friend, but I was at Bunnerong from 1962-1964living in both 5 block and 10N......we were a family of 5 children and my younger sister Yvonne and I played for the hostel netball team and were involved in the coach accident on the return from a tournament somewhere near Cronulla I thinkk...the coach tyre blew out but it shattered the underneath of the coach and bits of metal were sprayed everywhere...we ended up at hospital in Randwick having metal taken from our legs! But we did have really good times there......I wish I was still in Oz now, but do go back every year to visit family. Only last hyear did I drive along Bunnerong Road and was sad to find that the hostel was no longer there. Hope you find your friend soon.....
