I am from Clovelly and you have taken a photo of the block of flats where my home used to be,this was across the road from the Clovelly Bowls Club. the bowls club was all made out of a rock that we played on as Children( the rock was called the Cowboy Rock) and of course it got its name as we played cowboys on it around it and over it.<br />there is also the boogie hole which was a great place to swim. we played on the Army Fort just near the Bowls Club on top of the cliff.not one of us fell over it but could climb it up and down all on how you wanted to get to the beach .in Ocean Street and the start of Boundry Street (145) there would have been over 30 children to play with ( the no shoe clan).<br />the place was so safe and we use to play in the Waverley Cemetery and my family trained the Police Dogs and we used to help train them in the night as well. I am so happy that i found this site ,here i am sitting in a Sunny Christchurch New Zealand Looking at my Clovelly a little sad but so happy to see it all again . if anyone would like to drop me a line please do to aussiedel@gmail.com i would love to hear from you. Again thanks so much I could not add this to your site for some silly reason you maybe able to add this for me .<br />Cheers Del Le BretonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224835141360424669.post-24792426551250218462010-01-03T23:53:49.795+11:002010-01-03T23:53:49.795+11:00MissBuckle - I can imagine how much you miss Sydne...MissBuckle - I can imagine how much you miss Sydney's light - glad I can bring a little of it to you.<br /><br />liftandseparate - thanks for the fan post. <br /><br />katiecrackernuts - A book?
