You may want to consider offering these images to the Blacktown Memories site (Blacktown Council Library). |

I haven't sorted out an online photo repository so far but have found another gem. The 24th intake put out a CD with a trove of photos both then and now covering two reunions (2006 and 2008) and a few of back in the day shots of all members of the passing out term. I can't recall who did all the leg work, Ziggy maybe? but the CD is really a good look / read and well done getting the numbers together. A bit poignant as a number of the attendees are no longer with us. |

Akuna Vista estate (I think the Defence Housing Authority have a weird sense of humour). The former airfield and the former base are now the new suburb of Nirimba Fields (the Geographical Names Board will not allow names like just "Nirimba" that appear in other states). I think the "Fields" was relating to airfield (well, I would like to think so). The image of me pointing over to the nearest street on the former airfield (taken from standing on the former parade ground in front of the former stands offered) is Bellman Drive. House blocks from 250 sq metres to 325 sq metres, house and land from $990,000 to $1.24 million. You may note that they are higher than the former airfield land. Fill levels have been as much as 10 metres to the wet part of the airfield to around 3 to 4 metres in the image. The predominant population is Indian and Chinese and the local Facebook site for Nirimba Fields is all related to food services, clothing services and any other matter relating to former living conditions some where else (cheapest best mechanic/take my kid to school/cheapest live in nanny working for pocket money, etc) |

Akuna Vista Estate... I knew it was something like that, Brian, but they could have named it MOBI Vista Estate out of respect for/ in recognition of our heritage past...! |
