These are a couple of photos that I put on friends reunited Au.
The photos are school photos taken at Port Kembla. A lot of the kids from the Hostel went to Port Kembla public.

Hi Len

I went to Port Kembla public school for about four months until we left the hostel and moved to Mangerton. My memories are mixed. I discovered racsism towards the Indigenous Australians. In spite of this, most memories are good. Especially of the Hostel lunches and the STACK. Do you remember Gillian Brown and Sue Tasker? Both befriended me when I arrived at the hostel on my 10th birthday (5/8/1968).

Please reply

Hi Sue.
Yes, I remember Gillian Brown and Susan Taster. They were good friends of mine. We spent many hours playing with Gillian�s sister�s record player. I think Gillian lived at the far end of C block facing B block.
If I remember correctly? the record player had a single deck and was housed in a small cream wooden box it had a built-in speaker and a lift up lid.
I believe Gillian�s family moved back to the uk �Birmingham� shortly before our family left the hostel 1969.

I have actually mentioned Gillian and Susan in this thread ages ago.
