Lived on the house on the corner (pulled down) at 18:45. We never mowed the lawn once. One day the back door fell off. We used the bottom of the flood ravaged house for firewood. My first ever trip to Greymouth was from Westport in a '72 Corolla with no windscreen. Picked up a Welsh hitchiker who got stung by a bee on the way down and parked outside the then MOT building on Mackay Street (without knowing) - didn't get a ticket. Ah - the memories!

Niiice I think a few of those homes were destroyed in the tornado back in 2005 that literally went through that street and on to to rip through the Foundery. Sounds like great memories from your time in Greymouth. I can remember those floods that would literally turn the town into a lake.
