New Norcia Part 2. Chat with an ex-student of the school.

[@Damienchristidis]

I was there in 1986, only for a year. I have some fond memories from my time there.

I remember our first day of school there, in 1988. Where Pat and I first met. We were sitting around the staff parking area.. that lil gravel area just to the side of the Office room Pat pointed out. It was from that moment our friendship was formed, and lasted through out those years until Pat left. I stick around for year 11 in 1991. I felt i missed him terribly through out that year lol...

Very interesting to hear from a former student. Never heard of Yerecoin? Not too surprised, it is off the usual routes. They do have a great campground there, toilets, showers power if you need it and cheap too. The tennis courts are pretty awesome for anyone who enjoys exercise. Just finished editing our New Norcia vid and I had to deal with some of the less savory aspects of the school. I am hoping I did a reasonable job of that. Won't be out until January though as we have a lot of vids in the queue.

I looked on a map after and found it. Yer been through there a few time but probably blinked most times so didnt remember it. Glad I got my New Norcia vid in before you did or it would look like I was copying you.... lol
