Home from Home in Wahroonga

As a teenager and in my early twenties, I sent hundreds of letters to Ingram Rd, in Wahroonga - home of the Jones family and my friend Vivienne. The address is burnt into my memory; besides the address of my parents its the only one I know off by heart (very useful in Australia whenever I was asked for an Australian address).

It was eerie to catch a train out from Sydney to Wahroonga and pass through stations of the places  I knew from Vivienne's letters: Macquarie (University), Pymble (Ladies College) and Wahroonga (home from home for two days with the Joneses). The stay was sans Vivienne, currently in Calgary - but we did speak with each other while I was there.
