Hello Sophie,
I could not agree with you more. All the people I met were absolutely wonderful. When I was there, a young teen-age Yank treveling and working, I wouldn’t have made it without the generosity of so many.

Trevor,
Thank you so much for your quick reply. It is now 45 years, or so, 1964, since I lived, worked, and fell in love in Loxton. I too write and have been, modestly, published. If you would like to correspond about wrting, Loxton, the past, I would delighted.

Hi there Mike,

Sorry – as I wrote in an earlier comment, I completely lost contact with Robyn when she finished university. The last I knew of her was that she travelled to the USA. That was 40 years ago!

Dear Trevor,
Once again some wonderful photos. I certainly remember the river and Loxton very well. Robyn Dolan is a very special person to me and any information you could send me about her would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
Mike

Thanks for visiting my blog, Mike, and for leaving a comment.

Sadly, I don’t often get a chance to visit my old home town Loxton much these days, despite having family still living there.

I think I remember the Bells but not Alan Todd.

I am curious about which Dolan family you know (or knew). At high school and later at university I was friendly with a Robyn Dolan. We would often meet for coffee and discuss poetry and great literature – ah, those were the days!

After university I think she travelled to the USA but we lost contact after that. I often wondered what happened to her. Did you know her?

I’m 62 next week and she was about a year younger than me. I still have several books she gave me at the time.

Thank you for the beautiful photos. I was in Loxton in 1965, working on the fruit blocks and the fruit drying co-op. I had the most wonderful time. Friends included Dawn and Ivan Bell, Alan Todd and the Dolans. Thanks again, Mike
