Does anyone remember the earthquake happening around 1953/4? It was so huge that the front verandah (brick and concrete) cracked from the front door of our house at 2 Torrens Avenue to the steps. One of the windows fell out. I remember my dad went fighting bushfires around that time too - up in the hills and he came home blackened. It was a frightening time. Our house was right opposite the cemetery and when my grandmother came for a visit, she used to take me with a picnic lunch and sit on the graves and tell me horrific stories about the people coming back to scare me if I didnt do as I was told. I was petrified of the place. Lord I was 6 years old.What an old bag she was!
