A school pal and I worked there. She and I are still friends.
Lived at Castlereagh and then moved to the 'big smoke' (Kingswood) when dad got sick.
we both lived in St Marys - went to St Marys High. When we got married we lived in Adelaide for 18 months amd then back to St Marys - then after living in Bidwill for some years, we built a house in Kingswood, lived there for 18 years, My mum, dad and sister lived in Kingswood for 26 years. Mum died there and then we both sold our houses and moved to Qld.
Living at Castlereagh, I suppose you spent some time at the Drags? what about the river swimming (Yarramundi) - well until it got too poluted to swim in.?
edit: forgot, we also lived in Richmond for a while too.
Yes the drags and Yarramundi.
Not to mention Agnes Banks and Smoky Dawsons ranch
We also went swimming at the bottom of Devlin Lane across the rapids and then up the mountains on the other side along the Old Springwood Rd.
Before attending Castlereagh school (26kids) I went to Colyton primary.
When we moved to Kingswood in 1961 we lived in 2nd St, the name changed to Jones St.
