My Grandmother was Nellie Blake who spent her early years and also later years between Kūmara and Sydney with her daughter Mascot.
Jack ,(Sonny was my Dad)
The Murpys supported my Grandmother in her younger years who I believed had a butcher shop.
My Grandma had an interest in Gilbert and Tomassis Sawmill there and later the home in , I think it was Greenstone Road, next door to Walter, just forget the surname and Nel on the other side. Nel was a delightful little lady.
I also have fond memories of the Lilley, Wafer and Minto kids when I visited as a young teenager in the late 1960s.
I remember Tesh , the man with a massive piece of Greenstone
as well.
Always enjoyed our Kūmara holidays as we lived in Southland in those days and loved theKūmara Raceday too
