I remember when we got "Red Car" in March 1978. I even remember going on a pre-school excursion and seeing our new car at the car dealership on the Princes Highway in Sutherland/Gymea ready to be picked up.
Before that I have one memory of being in the garage about to get into the white car we had before Red Car (BDL Bomb!!).
But my earliest memory I have probable confirmation on was from September 1977 when I'd only just turned four.
And I have this memory from 1986 when I was convinced (when we holidayed in Canberra that year), that I had a memory of seeing the Carillon being played (like being in the room to see it played).
For years that's all it was, just a thought that I'd seen it being played.
Well I didn't have any confirmation of this until August 2020 when I was scanning Dad's slides, and here it was, a photo taken from the top of the carillon on 25 September 1977, while we were on a family holiday to Canberra. It was a Sunday, so entirely plausible it was being played that day.

How cool is that ?!?
