Hand written notes on 1 x A4 page.
Author lived at 63 George Street from birth, 1946-1959.
Parents of author lived at 63 George Street from time of their marriage c.1933-1959.
The blue stone building [No. 65?] was originally a Cobb & Co. staging post. [No documentary confirmation of this has been found]
The shop on the corner [No. 65] was divided into two: corner was a private library; and behind, in Simpson Street was a drycleaner.
During the war there were trenches in Wellington Parade. Author's sister used to play in them on her way to Yarra Park School.
There were many children in the area. In author's Grade 5 class at Yarra Park there were 54 students. They were short of teachers so they brought back a retired teacher of 70, a Miss Hammino [Hamono], to teach the class.
