• Whyalla and Iron Knob

    April 20, 2023 in Australia

    Visited Mark's hometown. He was born in Whyalla and moved to Adelaide when he was five.
    We managed to find the house he lived in and Errol and Lorraine's house.
    Went to the jetty and tried squiding but it was too windy and cold. (if you haven't guessed we really want to catch some squid)
    Mark's dad was from Iron Knob. We did a day trip out to see what is left of the town. Mark often talks about different places in Iron Knob, the store and the pub (owned by a couple of his aunt's). We tried to find his gran's house but couldn't. We lucked out and were able to do a tour they drove us around the town explaining where buildings were.
    We did find his grandfather's headstone in the cemetery and his dad's name on the honour roll for WWII veterans.
