My sister is two years and six months in the photo, taken by my father one hot January day in 1966, with date and location written on the back.
Question: which Melbourne CBD building hosted this rooftop carnival? The fragment of building in the background may give a clue. Or not.
Take a wild guess in comments below.
Answer in a couple of days.
Well, my guess is Myer...But I could be wrong. My Mum used to work at Foys so that was going to be my first guess, but I don't remember my Mum taking us up there, so Myer it is
ReplyDeleteIt was in the days when Foys still had a lady driving then lift. Sometimes she'd let me work the controls...boy did I feel special!
Melbourne Girl, your first instinct was right. It is Foy's rooftop carnival, which I had all but forgotten about until I unearthed the picture.
ReplyDeleteI probably saw that lift lady and perhaps even your mother!
Quite possible KH... quite possible
