Notes
Bill Bresser kindly provided some additional information. 1. Moreshead Drive: It was an electricity sub-station located about halfway between Staff Cadet Ave and Plant Rd. 7. Ruins near Civic. That was located just east of City Walk and the old Boulevade building, with a view of the old Electricity building. 10. Narrabundah homestead. Charlie Russell told Bresser that he and his family were down the coast when he was contacted and told his homestead huts were being destroyed by a bush fire. He later rebuilt a new house on same site which stood somewhere between La Perouse St and Hindmarsh Drive.
