They were moved to a suburban war memorial at <a href="http://sydney-city.blogspot.com.au/2009/04/chifley-war-memorial.html" rel="nofollow">Chifley</a>.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361781616939928650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34645388.post-66443577507119442002016-05-12T04:11:31.062+10:002016-05-12T04:11:31.062+10:00Hiya Jim, Just wondering if there are any more can...Hiya Jim, Just wondering if there are any more cannons along the beach, Coogee beach? In 1969 we emigrated on the £10 ticket from England, although father was deported within 9 months, however this is another story. The reason I ask about the cannons is I had a picture of me and my brother taken by one of these cannons, I have lost the picture and this is my reason for asking. Kind Regards Freddie Ipswich Suffolk England.
