A round trip


60's. Brought up in Khandallah - as a youngster, use to walk with M+D plus brother + sister down Madras St along to Jubalee Rd and down the trk [track] to the main road where we walked to the Wellington railway station and rested with a hot pie/pud (potatoes) + peas, then got the train back to Khandallah and back up Madras St. Often used this way to get Part Time work in Wellington (Hallensteins) on Lambton Quay or visit my grandfather who had an office on Cable Car Lane - fond memories.
