Loved those derby days. I wasn't allowed to have a go, but I'm sure my brother Noel did. It was great watching the crashes although not so for the drivers.

Marilyn Finn
Used to live in Milton Rd. Used to have a few crashes. When I think back what we did as kids was great dangerous. Bottom of the Hill was cross st. Great memories.
Also remember the night the Opera House ( picture theatre) burnt down. The siren went off for the volunteer fire brigade & we watched for from our lounge room. At that time our house was the last one up the hill.
