The former home of child prodigy drummer, movie star and Bee Gees drummer Colin Petersen is marked at 20-23 Eveline St and Colin lived there and attended Humpybong School for 5 years from 9th March 1953 to July 1958.
Has anyone have memory and/or photos of the Military Armoured Tanks that were sitting on a vacant block of land a street behind the Woody Point Ice Works? It is probable that they may have been purchased for their engines. There was another one converted to an earthmoving machine (bulldozer) at the Duffield Road Dump and Sanitation Dump.
