STORY<br />
Our nearest neighbours, when we first went to Redoubt Road, were the Diproses and the Wilsons, who later<br />
sold out to the Grants and Hollands. Other nearby neighbours were the Frosts, the McGowans, the Honeybuns,<br />
the Fogartys and the Cooper-Smiths.<br />
After four years of heartbreaking labour my father decided to sell the property, mainly because of a storm that<br />
demolished the henhouse. The homeless hens sought refuge in the privy and, in the pushing and shoving that<br />
followed many fell down the hole and were drowned in the water that had partly filled the bottom. My father<br />
decided there were easier ways of earning a living than farming.<br />
After spending a year in <strong>New</strong> Lynn, we moved to a ten-acre block of land on the corner of Barrack and Banks<br />
Road in Mount Wellington.<br />
