Re: What a small world.
Went for a look up around Lake Heights as well...
Picture 1 - Len, this is were the old Hostel "Karingal" used to be, as you can see it is has now been redeveloped and used for soccer. Is 'Karingal" the one you stayed at? The other two hostels were located in Berkeley somewhere around where Sussex St is now and the other in Fairy Meadow which is now also a soccer ground... My Uncle and Aunt stayed at the one in Fairy Meadow back around 1950 or so... I mentioned in a previous post that my family came out in 1956 in fact it was 1954 on the 10th March, 50 years anniversary a couple of days ago.. I wouldn't of known if my sister hadn't of emailed me about it!
I used PSP to join two photos together to give it a wider view...
Picture 2 - Is taken from the top of Lake Heights Road off Flagstaff Road looking down.
