Read their story
Dad like many Italians, came to Australia to seek a better life for himself. He worked in the Kirup Saw Mill & lived at Kirup. He married Josephine Gilda Castro. Together they purchased an exsisting property owned by Guiseppe Paolo Lucio Castro in Newlands. The farm was Dad's passion, his burning ember within his heart. He had 4 children Angela, Christine, Anthony and Rosanna.

Remember Basil very well, never met the girls but Anthony very often, good and helpful, neighbours.
Memories come back, when I sometimes drove by.
