MY ROSEDALE - Sue Braham

We came to Rosedale thanks to the Platts whom we met in Sri Lanka (Barbara and Roy - 20 Miller Ave - now gone).
We stayed with them in 1980 and rented their place until we bought our own in 1992.

Early memories are of a gang of youngsters (our John, Joey Nicholas, Nick Tischler and George Lemann often accompanied by our Peter, David Nicholas and Max Tischler) doing the perilous trip to Jimmy’s island across the channel each year as a rite of passage, one of them holding a Ventolin high and all of them returning scratched and triumphant.

Of Kitty Tischler sitting at the window of the middle cabin; of dogs wandering freely; of old clothes and evening picnics on the rocks.

Of reading Tolkein to the boys in the sandhills that are now covered in plants; of feeling so fortunate to have found a place where there were no noisy boats, shops or crowds.

It’s not so different today thank goodness.

The old farm ‘store’ (just a van) on George Bass Drive is sadly gone.

We know more people and we’re now the oldies!
These photos are some of my memories – they came from the Tischlers, Joanna Nicholas, Lynn Collins and me.
