On arrival the day was hot. We were all piled in to white convertible & as we drove along Riverside Drive with all the palm trees, at age 13, I thought I was in paradise. Never changed my mind. We all settled in Western Australia & quite well off with families of our own. Thank you Dad for bringing us.
