In January 1975 we were on leave from Papua New Guinea and decided to buy a grand old colonial house in the suburb of Bicton. We were the second owners of this house which was built in 1897.
At the end of ’75 we returned to Western Australia and moved into our house. It was still partially furnished with some interesting pieces including a piano, appliances, furniture and personal letters and diary of the previous owners. A simple clothes drier was in the laundry and I have found the same one on a site in the USA for sale for AU$ 942.00. It seems that the drier is almost 100 years old and still in good shape.
