"Back Lane" in Hazelwood Crescent Hazelwood Crescent (street)

We called this the "back lane". Back of houses in Hazelwood Cres - backed onto the Reservoir fences and little pumping station. What a view we had of the town and briquette factory, as you can see. This lane ran off onto Reservoir Rd.

We used to set up huge swing ropes from that gum tree and had quite a few "spills" - "croppers" that is. All survived! Lance

Tanjil Place Tanjil Place (street)

A very early view of Tanjil Place taken from the roof of 14 Hazelwood Cres. I remember families over there like - Fankhauser, Fitzgerald and Lynette & Ruby Paterson. So many good times shared by all the kids on the hill.

Alan Vickery and Lance White playing tennis in Hazelwood Crescent. Street sign and 13 Hazelwood Cres in background. We used to belt that ball up and down for countless ages!!

The Vickery family house at 13 Hazelwood Cres. The "lane" to the right - down that hill to the town, picture theatre etc. You can actually see the Heather Grove Shop, Carlisle's roof, St John's roof, Picture theatre roof, Catholic Church and footy ovals.

Picture taken with the new "Brownie Box" from 14 Hazelwood Cres roof. They didn't know I did that - too late now!! Lance
