We lived in the big pink house at the end of Pioneer Rd, and went to the same school,St Columberkills,lol. The vast open tracts of land to roam about in those days were unreal, we would catch some of the horses behind Heggies and ride them, us kids, 2 other brothers and sister would always walk to the beach ourselves. The Bellambi swimming club was a great club, and I got some trophies for point score swimming. The club rapidly went down hill when the Housing Commission moved in. I thinks its about then we learned about drug abuse, it was the weed back then, the kids into it were dumb-asses and bullies, hardly the "cool" crowd, so ever since then i've never understood how drug abuse is so called rampant, or is it just the media beating it up?
