Use to stay there. The sea was miles away not like it is to day

Dad was caught an after hours raid there around 1953. Fined £1. I think the whole town knew about it the next day!

Remember it like that well. Spent a lot of time playing with Bernie and Winston as a boy . Great times . Lived in Dowling road until we moved to CHCH in 64/65 always missed Paroa. Great place to live

I still remember Ronny Kelly running his v8 off the road turning down into Pandora Avenue in Camerons after driving home from the Paroa Pub. This was 1956.

That brings back a lot of great childhood memories of going down to play with Bernie in the late 50s early 60s from our home In Dowling Road . Perfect photo of the era .
