was fu

i moved to jannali or really oyster bay near jannali in 1951 when the area was mainly bush. we had no sewerage, a pan toilet, an ice box and meat store made of hessian. no buses, dirt roads. train stopped at como. all trains were steam trains no electric. no shops as such.wet to school at penshurst marist brothers.swam at como baths with a mud bottom and jelly fish that snuck in through the nets. lived in atent for ayear until dad completed part of the house.sutherland township was small and miles away. good times its a shame civilisation arrived!!! went back in 1990 no bush. just houses built on top of each other particularly around bates drive.
