I was born at ”Oroya” Private hospital on the 5th February 1944. At the time, my family lived in Leicester Ave, Strathfield. We moved from the area in December 1959. I now live in Redcliffe, on the North side of Brisbane……A beautiful place to be. So wonderful to see a photo of where I was born. Cheers Annette.
