These are all large format photos so I apologise for that.

This one is of my mother with her mother and I think Vicky Mum's invalidded younger brother.

This very old photo taken some time in 1920 is of a family picnic on Sydney Harbour.
In the background you can see one of Sydney's Ferries.

Dad and myself in Coramba sometime I think in 1957. Amazing how places imprint on one's mind because the visit to this farm is probably to blame 40 years later for the naming of my Garden Railway!

The little boy in the front row, not looking overly happy is my Father's fater Fred Morphett at school in Erskine Park in Sydney's west in the late 1800's I think. We thought of Erskine Park as being in the bush - these days its all suburbia!
