Past houses

As a military family (air-force), we lived in provided houses. I don't know how my mother put up with them. Most are small and extremely modest in appearance. Far too modest and undemanding was my mother.

Below: 2 Alexandra Avenue, Sale. Mum distinctly disliked this tiny house, and we were permitted to move across the road to No. 5 (below).


Below: 5 Alexandra Street, Sale, Victoria. At least the garden is neat.


Below: How depressing. Looks unoccupied. 12 Watt Street, Raymond Terrace, NSW. I don't recall the front yard being quite so spacious.


Below: 12 Dundilla Road, Frenchs Forest, Sydney. Horrible old house with an odd shaped kitchen.


Below was 23 Jalan Kechubong, Seletar Hills, Singapore. A pretty place but very small in comparison to the luxurious places surrounding it now, and no monsoon drains!




Below: A later photo (March 2018) of 23 Jalana Kechubong. The new owners have made some modifications, it seems.




And at the end of the road, the one in the Seletar Air base region, there were no skyscrapers in our day! It was a rubber plantation!
