There is another member on the board who comes from just down the road called "Kezardin" I used to live in Campbelltown for over a decade, There are some very nice areas but of course the odd housing commision estate. I really like the place.
You played League for the Kangaroos !!!! 
We are talking THE Kangaroos [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] You may not want to pass on your name over the net but if you give me your position number and club name I'll work it out [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]
*waits in awe of finding out which superstar* .... are we worthy [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img] /QUOTE]
Hehehe. That cracked me up! Nothing quite as illustrious as THE Kangaroos wellard. The Campbelltown City Kangaroos. They used to play at the club next door to Leumeah station, until it got bought by Western Suburbs Leagues Club.
I once used to be able to walk down Queen Street and I'd know most people that I'd meet. But I'm afraid to place just grew too quick and it lost the country town atmosphere. At one stage, just before I left in the early 80's, the population was increasing by about 15000 per year! Has a tendancy to destroy a community. The worst was that the increase was generally the dregs of society that only wanted to live off the state and have competitions amongst themselves pumping out babies. Sorry, but I have some bad memories from there. I used to live in Bradbury, St Johns Rd to be precise. Just up the road from Jacaranda Ave. Liked Camden a lot. Played a bit of Golf at the club there.
