Living in Canberra (Australian Capital Territory). Collector of Woods Ivory Ware, foxglove design Carltonware, kitchenalia, oil lamps, Biggles, Billy Bunter books and old motorcycle and car manuals. Owing to a lack of space, everything except the oil lamps and an antique scale are in storage and I've had to stop collecting altogether.
Indeed. I lived there from 1967 to 1993. I didn't live in the hills, but I lived for many years in those areas south of Perth and east of Fremantle (Jandakot, Forrestdale Kwinana etc) that the previous bushfires swept through.
