This was nice to receive from our Forum Member, Denise Smith, I include her comments....
I am sending you this collection of photos from our time in Oranjemund. These are a selection of pics that my parents have sorted through. I thought that you would like to add these to the photos on the website. We lived in Oranjemund from 1962 - 1965, 1968 - 1975. I was born there and we left before I started High School. My folks first lived in Outer Crescent and then we lived at 37 -11th Avenue. Right by the school and diagonally opposite the Bakery.
Included with the pictures are photos of mine workings, town, the yacht club, "safari parties", Mule derby, Christmas Tree, mine tours, cars, school, Bioscope parties, Squash club.
Should anyone remember my folks Chummy and Barbara Pretorius they can be contacted on their email address gppretorius@polka.co.za .
Thanks for the great website
Regards
Denise Smith
