PHOTO-A-DAY DAY 272 - 30th September ... Where I'm from

This is my family home in French's Forest where I lived my 

childhood years and up until I was married and moved overseas in 1972.

This is our first home home in Doody Street Narrabri,

A bit smarter than when we lived there.

This is 30 Gibbons Street - I bought and renovated

this place after my Dad died. I sold it in 2001 and moved to Sydney.

From here I bought  15 Kauri St Albion Park Rail where Trace and

family now live. I cant find a pic at the moment.

And today - I live with Maureen at 20 Honeysuckle Place... 

Here is is without the palm trees - a new development, we are 

now planting natives behind the fence and hope we will 

encourage more birds to visit us.

This is the rear of the house from our lovely reserve

and the Illawarra Escarpment in the background.

My tradeoff from the Nandewars.
