Birthplace - Brinkworth Close, Hockley, Essex, UK - 1961 to 1970
Sitmar TV Fairsky - 4 weeks in 1970 - this was the boat that brought us out to Australia from the UK
The Del Monte Private Hotel, Henley Beach, SA - our first 2 weeks in Australia (the migrant hostel was full!)
Salisbury Highway, Salisbury, SA - 1970 to December 1971
Riversdale Rd, Camberwell, Vic - December 1971 to June 1972
Salisbury Highway (again) - June 1972 to June 1975
Harvey Avenue, Salisbury - June 1975 to May 1981
Bindi St, Para Hills West, SA - May 1981 to May 1982 (first place out from under the parental wing - a shared rental with my younger brother and his fiancee)
Cooradilla Drive, Salisbury Park, SA - May 1982 to September 1982 (house-sat for my older brother while he was away visiting USian relatives)
Naracoorte, SA - Sept 1982 to January 1985 - 4 various rented places (country service with Bank)
Frost Rd, Brahma Lodge, SA - January 1985 to May 1985 (back home to Mummy!)
Balmoral Rd, Salisbury East, SA - May 1985 to August 1986 (my first 'own' place, rented until I bought))
Buckingham Drive, Salisbury East, SA - August 1986 to January 1990 (mine, all mine - and the Bank's!)
Castieau St, Higgins, ACT - February to August 1990 (our first rental in Canberra)
Banambila St, Aranda, ACT - August 1990 to April 1992 (our second rental in Canberra)
Prichard Circuit, Richardson, ACT - April 1992 to present (us and the Bank again!!)
I guess the two places I/we've actually owned would be my favourites. I bought the flat in Buckingham Drive when I was single and had a very placid, quiet life there. At least when you own the place it feels that much more yours to do what you like with.
