However unfortunately nothing remains. Houses occupy much of the land apart from a small nature strip. I would have loved to metal detect the area for coins and army relics.

I can remember roll call, the bell, lining up under the big tree and learning to read and write and make sentences with orange folders that had slots in them to place the words. I also remember Mrs Rollinson. Lovely lady. I’m sure my family stayed once at her place in Canberra? My mother was a teacher also so no doubt befriended her.

This part of St Ives was mainly orchards before that. It was the rural outskirts of Sydney and many local roads had not yet been paved (though at one stage there was a proposal to put a railway line from Gordon along Mona Vale Road to the beaches). The camp was right on the edge of the bush.<br /><br />One local resident had been a prisoner in the camp. He had bought land the camp was on after the war and had settled there with his family. I grew up hearing occasional stories about the camp and what life was like there. <br /><br />The land was sold off as residential plots after WWII so there have been no real signs of the camp for at least 50-60 years. There were still stables along the side of Richmond Ave facing the Wildflower Garden until the 1970 or 1980s, and large comfortable homes were built on the land from the 1950s. A few early weatherboard cottages still remain, but these have mostly been demolished. <br /><br />Years ago, there would be occasional hints of the camp life that was once there, such as pieces of rusty metal, cutlery, and pottery that we'd find in the ground as kids. But it has been a very long time since any buildings or infrastructure indicated that an internment camp had been there. It is as though history was erased; as though nobody wanted to remember. <br /><br />To find the location, drive along Mona Vale Road to the Ku-ring-Gai Wildflower Garden turnoff. That will take you around into Richmond Avenue — now a modern paved and guttered road, with lots of nice comfortable homes. The camp had been between those two streets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637148928035795497.post-62817648784352626662023-02-27T20:52:47.763+11:002023-02-27T20:52:47.763+11:00Gosh I’m a lot older than all these!!!
