Official Public School Opening
This photo shows pupils marching south along Old Barrenjoey Road through the shopping centre to the school on official opening day 26 May 1951. Woolworths now occupy the site of the Avalon Milk Bar and General Store on the north-east corner of the intersection with Avalon Parade. The teacher is probably Mr Jim Lane.

Good day to all.
My name is David James and have just had a phone chat with Geoff Searle ,for the first time since leaving Avalon in 1964.
It is a wonderful thing to be able to make a phone call and speak to someone you have not seen in over 50 yrs and be so graciously received.
I look forward to visiting Avalon in hopfully the near future and re meeting people from the past.
Cheers for now,Dave James.
