7 Colliery Rd

Morrie Alexander, the Electrical Engineer lived at the top of Colliery Rd on the right in a substantial house which looked back down at the pit and surrounding areas with lovely views. Morrie and wife had 2 daughters Fay and Judy.

This house was never put on title and sold .It remained the property of the coal company Coal & Allied. All lands belonging to Coal & Allied have been sold to Wallalong lands Pty Ltd.

Margaret and Tommy Neilson, son Gary, daughter Vicky, lived in the house opposite Morrie Alexander in the 1960’s. This house was well built and had wonderful views of Middle Camp and Federal city. Although this area was prone to bushfires and the Neilson’s had several close calls when the fire came too close. Sadly this house has also been demolished
