Memorial Hastings 1970’s

 

Malcolm McDonald… Great times..

Keith Veness… That’s what a Town centre should look like

Janet Gardiner… Keith, That’s how it was when I lived there in Middle Street. Came to Australia in October 1952.

Patrick Syder… spot on Steve!

Gail Allana… I spent many a happy Summer there in my childhood. I cried when they demolished the sea water lido. Still a pretty place, as revisited some years ago, but the homeless drug addicts is very sad. {I did sit & speak to quite a few}. Bought them food.

Wayne Heldon… Gail, well they need somewhere to go. shame they arent looked after in our society better. more council govt issues
