Comment on History of Windy Hill, Essendon by Adam Neira

My Great Grandfather on my Mother’s Side was A.F. Showers so as a kid I had no real choice who I would barrack for. I was happy with my “choice” of the Bombers. I remember attending VFL games at Windy Hill as a 12 year old in 1977. I used to travel alone there via tram, then a train from Flinders Street and then a walk from 898 Burke Road, Canterbury. I attended many games there over the next three years come hail or shine, always taking my trusty Thermos filled with Tomato Soup along with some Vegemite and Cheese Sandwiches. I enjoyed watching the exploits of Neville Fields, Shane Heard, Simon Madden, Merv Neagle, Tim Watson and Paul Vander Haar. I have fond memories of the Peanut Seller bloke and a blind guy who used to go to the games. When asked why he went, he answered “I like the atmosphere”

In reply to Christine. There exists in the State Library of Victoria a survey plan of the County Allotments Parish of Dookie, done by JG Wilmot, District Surveyor Benalla in 1859. He had been in Sri Lanka, and named several other places with Sinhalese names, including Baddaginnie, Dimboola, Gampola and Watta Wella.
