On arrival in Sydney it was discovered that there was a housing shortage and we ended up camping on a friend's veranda for several months in Hunters Hill before we found a property to buy in Lane Cove, which was still under contruction, such was the pressure we ended up moving in whilst the builder was still working on it, even the road to it was just a bulldozed lane through the srub. Our address was Lot 29, Cullen Street. Later with the building of the new highway which devided Cullen street, the norther section being renamed no 2 Willandra Street.
