Northam. Wheatbelt town on the Avon River

[@williampankiw7590]

I came to Northam in 1949 with my parents and three brothers from Germany. First we were billeted in the old Army camp until Holden Camp was finished. We were in Holden Camp until the early fifties when my parents bought a house at 20 Gregory Street (now gone). There was East Northam Station and West Northam Station where I got up early one morning and took the train to Perth and went to the recruiting office and did my tests to join the Navy. I passed and about a month later I left Northam again for the recruiting office again, got sworn in and left on the train to go to Melbourne. My parents and family met the train at Spencer’s Brook as the train to Melbourne didn’t stop at Northam. Before that I worked at HB Brady the plasterers, then got a job at the Northam Water Supply, where I was slowly going mad as the blinds were always drawn and I couldn’t see outside. Even at 78 years of age, I still miss my first real home. I did a little time in the CMF there 10th light horse, where we had the Staghound Armoured Cars, Saracen troop Carriers and the Ferret Scout cars.

Thanks for coming to the Dukes Inn ! I’m sorry we didn’t get more time to talk but the dukes is I believe 111 years old. If I am correct. I loved the video. Very happy with everything you showed. Thanks again. - Chelsea.

Love the sculptures. There used to be a walk around a forest near where I grew up in Devon with a whole load of these. No big fuss... but well crafted and great to stumble across, particularly the first time. 👍

The pub that burnt down was on the corner where Maccas is.
