Linda found a folder on the hostels, but as I had already established through the archives, there was nothing on Altona until 1969
We are hoping to have a get together at Eastern Beach in Geelong in the warmer weather, and hope more of you will be able to make that. |
And what was the date Susan?? Mum |

You girls missed out big-time @ William Angliss- they had the most beautiful eclairs for 70c each, and 12" iced sponges for $4.50, and little sticky-date puddings for $2.25.
I bought a box of 12 eclairs, and some of them didn't make it to Southern Cross station! |

I just noticed the heading of this thread and it says August 17th and we actually went on the 16th ...could that have been a reason for the no show of certain people ?

lol, yep, sure could have been, but we had specified that it would be the MONDAY as that was most convenient for the most people, so really the actual date didn't matter.

Mum, we arrived on Friday the 31st May, a rather significant date isn't it?
