It’s great to see Wynnum coming alive Again. I remember the time when we couldn’t push a pram through Bay Terrarce on a Sat morning because of the crowd. However it was always a friendly place. I realise with the expansion in development and increase in population, it would never be the same. But having been born in Wynnum, 75 yrs ago, and lived In this area 98% of my life, I have a special love for this place and so saddened to see its decline.
We had three movie theatres, a skating rink and by the mid to late 50s a partition was taken up for a hospital as it was felt very needed. A local gentleman had decided the need was so great, he intended leaving land for same in his will. So I’m really happy to see that piece of land is to be utilised for the new medical facility at Wynnum West. I’d like to thank all who are trying to keep this lovely suburb to revive and survive.
