AddBy: Helen Wenley16th Nov 2021 2:03PMThe 3 bedroom house was clad in fibro. My parents purchased it with the help of a War Service loan in the mid 1950s. We had a huge back yard. We had flower beds willow trees a mulberry tree a vegetable garden a Chook pen a woodshed and a built in BBQ area. I learnt to ride a bike on the concrete paths.
By: Helen Wenley16th Nov 2021 5:03AMThis was my family home. My father Howard Hughes was the photographer and film maker at the Australian Museum in Sydney. For many years he traveled by steam train then electric train into work. He may have taken this photo.
