Historical information

Albert Henry Flynn was born in Bunbury 1917. Albert grew up on Worsley until he was 18, when he went to Goldfields, before finally joining the Army. Settling in South Perth, he bought a block of land in Mullaloo in 1958, when the only access was a sandy track, to have something for his kids. He worked with others to build the house from timber on weekends. Albert shares memories of Mullaloo, from when there was only the Seaside Gardens Caravan Park and beach shacks and discusses the development and changes to the area, and the nearby lime industry.
