· Mary O’Reilly, mum’s grandma lived in a low house behind Tommy’s old corrugated tin red garage near the well. Grandma and Charlie lived down from McKenry’s until it was moved to where Old Tom and Gran O’Reilly lived. When the house was moved across the paddocks, Sheila said that Tommy was inside it sitting on the toilet.

· Sheila can remember there were milking sheds close by Gran O’Reilly’s house – I presume they would be the sheds below where the old toilet was and were later used as a ‘chook house’.

· Old Jim McKenry once made a wheelbarrow for Tommy but Maureen and Tommy fought all the way back about who was to push it.

· At one stage Clem Mahoney and his mum and dad lived in McKenry’s house and once Grandma Eveston made a meal including meat on a Friday for some workers on the farm. Clem went home to his parents and dobbed Grandma in. “The Eveston’s were eating meat on Friday!”
