Note re the situation in Oswald Street, Darling Point, Sydney, Circa 1987.
I took over from a let's say chaotic household who decamped from the apartment.
Let's just say the heat was getting hot.
The Jeff in the note is Jeffery Wegener, best known as drummer for the historic Australian band The Saints.

Photos, Sydney Park, Circa 1985.

Pretty sure this is Belmore Park near Central Station in Sydney, Australia. The occasion was seeing my mother off to Adelaide, where she was going to look after my youngest brother Warren, who had just been offered an internship at a high tech company designing computer chips.
It was not too long before Warren was poached by Silicon Valley, and he has lived in America ever since.
For the sake of her youngest son, my mother had sold the lovely house she had designed for herself in Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast and moved to Adelaide to take care of him. She would always do anything for her children.
