West Ryde

There are seven children now, all at different ages, with the older ones already well into school while Norbert is still a baby.

In March 1963, the family moves into a housing commission home in West Ryde, Sydney.

Next door lives Christine.

Her mum Beryl is remarried and living in Seven Hills.

There are four younger children coming and the food, drinks and towels have to make the journey with them.

Once they're ready, the six can head for the station.

They catch the train at West Ryde and change at Redfern for Cronulla.

By around 11 in the morning, they reach Cronulla.

It, uh...

They're on, uh, um, on one of the main roads, uh, going through West Ryde and, uh, and Top Ryde.

Uh, and, uh, they, they are a good, uh, 10 meters apart and looking really great.

But, uh, yeah, I think people don't realize even how big teddy bear can grow.

This coming Sunday, Reuben from Myanmen will be 14.

Nikki from West Ryde is turning 37, and her man Fabio, with the luscious locks you'd expect with a name like that, recently celebrated his 40th birthday.

Hazel from Norfolk, Nebraska is celebrating on Sunday, and her mum, Amanda, is happy birthday-ing on Monday.

Congrats, ladies.
