Dear editor, re the article on page 16-17 3 Dec “A sheep station to a suburb with a heart” I would like to correct the paragraph about the visit of the Duke and Duchess of York. The house visited by the Duchess was actually number 7 Corroboree Park occupied at the time by Mr & Mrs Barry who lived there until 1946. The Truesdale family then moved into number 7 from 19 Higgins Crescent (across the road) in June 1946.

"The considerably lower per km cost of the Brisbane Metro compared to the Canberra Metro results from… investing not in rails but in what benefits the public, namely electric vehicles," writes BEATRICE BODART-BAILEY.
