LOL - I just looked at my last post and realised it should have said "1951" no "195"! :-)
My dad brought home a big lump of coal off one of the ships he was on - it had "Fool's Gold" embedded in it. I was very impressed as an impressionable 7yr old!
I remember there were gas works also further up the Parramatta River - I have dim memories of him working out of Mortlake?

I've finally found a ship that my father sailed on in his career as AB Seaman in Australia from 195, that has not been B/U!!!
