This is a picture of Pat and Colin Barton with their children, Stuart and Sally. This picture was taken from a slide and so I don't know if it is correct or in reverse view but my mum (Pat) believes this is on 'Reservoir Hill' and the reservoir can be seen in the background. My parents well remember the earthquake of around 1969 that caused a 'little' concern as we lived in Hazelwood cres. which backed onto the park and reservoir. My Dad (Colin) a geologist headed up the hill to investigate after the 'waves' from the earthquake moved through.
