OMA REMEMBERS . . . |

 When the new baby Marc was 4 months old, we were transferred to Eddystone Point in Tasmania. We went by the "Cape York" and we enjoyed this trip very much. Marc slept in our cabin on the little seat, which could be made into a little bed for him by putting a board against it so he could not fall out. Lucy was a favourite with the mate and he carried her around with him and let her hold his fishing line etc. He said she reminded him of his own little daughter. |

Life at Eddystone was very good, it was for Dad a completely new life because he had to chop wood, paint the lighthouse (at Cape Schanck), polish the lenses, and keep watch during the night. I also had to do a lot of work I had never done before, like baking bread, looking after the garden and the chooks, teaching Paul and later Beppie (Rietje and Theo's daughter) and the other girls.  |
