My Past Family Blog Sites: 1950’s -1960’s .....
__________________________________
I grew up in the 1950’s and 1960’s at Wilsons Creek, up in the mountains out from Mullumbimby in Northern New South Wales, Australia. I was raised on a banana plantation amidst the steep slopes of rainforest and wet sclerophyll (gum) forest and occasional cliff outcrops. The creek we swam in was a very clear, clean freshwater rainforest creek with big deep pools. People now in the City, would give their `eye’ teeth for it as my late father used to say.

Numinbah Natural Arch: http://numinbahnaturalarch.blogspot.com/ ..... in the 1960's the Murwillumbah Pathfinder Club had built a log cabin in the Numinbah Valley. We had a strong relational overlap as we were in the Mullumbimby Pathfinder Club. We would sometimes stay overnight at the log cabin and go hiking and camping in the rainforested Lamington National Park on the mountains above the log cabin. The Numinbah Natural Arch was a regular place we could easily hike to as it was just down the road.
