There was a story I remember that the council planted a tree in the nature strip outside of the house. Pa Wintle wasn't happy with this messing up his lawn, and would do frequent checks to see it the plant was still growing by pulling it up and inspecting its roots. The council couldn't work out why the plants kept dying, and eventually gave up!
Alf and Bertha were my grandparents. They moved into the house around 1937. We lived there for approx 10 years in the late 60s & 70s. I remember playing on the street until it was dark. We had a look-out who would yell "car" whenever one came around the corner from Ourimbah Road. We'd all clear off the street while it went past, then go back to playing.
