This was my Grandparents house and It still looks the same as when I was last in there in the early Eighty’s. I still rember getting up before dawn and going to the lounge room and looking at all the lights from the city of Newcastle and the container ships. It is a very remarkabale house. The frount windows to the left are bedrooms with the Master bedroom on the corner. The Master bed room has a wir and ensuite. The main bathroom is oppisite the two other bedrooms. Down the long side of the house is the formal dining room with a bar behind it, facing the informal seccond lounge room. The Second lounge room faces both the side street and the swimming pool in the back yard. Behind the second lounge room is the gust bedroom with it’s own informal area. To the right of the staircase is the main lounge room with the kitchen behind it. The main lounge room wraps around the kitchen with both the Kitchen and the return of the lounge room facing the swiming pool. When you enter the front door, to the left is the laundry with the seccond double garage to the left with access from the side street. To the right you go down a couple of steps to the main double Garage.
Yes, It is an increadible house.

Thanks for your response Susan. Its such a great example of modernism – a lovely legacy of his work. It would be fabulous to obtain copies of the working drawings for inclusion in the collection of Newcastle Region Library. If you can assist once again let me know. Sarah Cameron

I am thrilled to see Ross’ Pallett House featured on your website. He was particularly proud of this house and I can still remember the superb model he built for Bill Pallett prior to construction. About 5 years prior to Ross’ death in 2007 he was contacted by an architectural archivist from W.A. who was seeking copies of the working drawings of the Pallett House. After gaining permission from the current owners Ross sent them over but we didn’t hear anything further. Unfortunately, I have never seen inside the house.

Comment on Hunter Heritage Network’s position on the proposed removal of Wambo from SHR by Lyn MacBain

Dear Sarah,
Please pass on my gratitude to the Network for a brilliant submission on retaining the heritage listing for Wambo. The community here at times feels powerless with the pressures that the expanding mining industry has bought to our doors. Many of us earn our living from the industry but we are becoming overwelmed by the speed at which open cut mining is devouring everything in its path including precious Wambo. I have said in our submission that while Wambo remains there is a glimmer of hope that we will all outlast mining. Underground mining may not be as profitable for the companies but it is a better outcome for our natural and built environment. Thanks you again. Regards Lyn
