What were the treasures of Petersham, where the writer lived with her family?
The treasures of Petersham, where the writer lived with her family were as follows:
- Across the big Paramatta Road from Leichhardt, where the buildings of her high school stand, was the completely nondescript Petersham.
- The place faced the dreary backsides of shops along Paramatta Road.
- There was a small park with few visitors and a large rock in one corner of Petersham.
