Don't be bullshitting us..


Why would I do that? I remember it well, although I did not attend Westall High School myself. I went to Clayton Technical School in Browns Rd, Clayton North. We lived on Clayton Rd, Clayton South. My sister was 13,and I was 14 at the time.
I remember my sister saying, (the last time we discussed it) how everyone rushed to the fence. The landing site was an area known as The Pines, directly to the west of the school off Rosebank Avenue, Westall.
The Grange is south of the school off Osbourne Avenue and is not visible from the western end of the school. If you check Google Earth, you can see houses lining the western side of Brady Avenue, that street did not exist in 1966. The Pines, where the landing took place no longer exists, a row of houses (on Brady Ave) and factories fronting Rosebank Ave now exist. That area was my turf when I was a kid. :-)


Hi Mortal,

Thanks so much for that account of what your sister remembers.

Has your sister been in contact with me, do you happen to know? I would love to hear from her if she hasn't. My email is: [email protected] or she can contact me via the Facebook and/or Yahoo Groups pages, as listed in my earlier message. If you or your sister contact me I can give you my phone number to speed things up, if you would like.

I am very interested in your mention of The Pines. Most of the witnesses I have been in contact with have referred to The Pines, but have meant the ones at The Grange, which were, and still are, visible from the grounds of both of the Westall schools. Are you able to indicate to me where The Pines, west of the school, were? Do you mean between the school and the printery, as it was in 1966?

I really do look forward to hearing back from you, and your sister, either here or via my email or web sites.

Does your sister know about the reunion to mark the 45th anniversary of the sightings, which is taking place on 9 April, 2011, at Westall Primary School?

I await your message(s)!

Best wishes,

Shane.
