The house was brand new but when dad pick mum, Warwick and I up from the train, he warned us we would have to be carried in as there was a thick layer of coal dust right through the house. Dad was in Personnel, settling the migrants into the hostels and houses as they arrived. We attended the Presbyterian Church - Rev White was the minister. My friends at church included the Chisholms, the Gusts, Val Barr. Moonlight hikes to Herne's Oak were good fun with Don Chisholm keeping us under control most of the time. I was also in the Guides under Mrs Graham.
