This is my personal memoir of growing up in the (unofficial) Melbourne suburb of Fairy Hills. Officially that part of Ivanhoe nestled in what used to be the wilderness area bordered by the junction of the Yarra River and the Darebin Creek it's only about 8k from the heart of the city. Originally written for my 8 year-old granddaughter this is a small book of personal memories of life in the Good Ol' Days and my world as a child of the '40s and early 50s. Currently under revision.
