What were you doing in Derby in 1979? The town's population has not grown much since then. The official census figure is 3,256, however the shire persists in the lie of 4,500.
There is a lot of new houses that have been built in the last 10 years, mainly by removing old houses and building new. I suppose the only really new change since your days is that nearly everyone now has airconditioning.
My very best friend (who I met the day after arriving in town in 1994) arrived in 1963 and left only 3 years ago to live down south because of her and her husband's health. I miss her terribly. They have some great photos, terrific stories and warm memories of Derby. I spoke to Kath yesterday on the phone and she said she would love to come home.
Derby is a town that you either love or hate. There is no middle ground. My husband and I love it and I dread the day that we will be forced to leave because of the inadequate cancer treatment services (i.e none with the need to travel to Perth).
However at this stage my feet are firmly planted in Kimberley soil. Besides it takes too much scrubbing to remove the pindan from the soles of my feet!
Take care
