Turramurra:
an aboriginal word for 'High Hill' was the name given to the newly established
railway station in 1890.
Before the days of taxis, Mr. Foster ran a horse-drawn vehicle business. One of his horses dropped dead so the residents staged a concert to raise funds to buy him another. |
| At Eastern
Road there were market gardens. The goods were taken to home by horse and
cart and, at dusk a lamplighter would light the street gas lamps. The Gilroy
family had three large wooden cows (advertising Horlicks milk) in their
paddock in Rohini Street and these were sold sight unseen to a man who
thought he was buying live ones!
Life is just a little different in Turramurra! |
