I need a sense of direction here guys. I see the masjid which from memory was in the street by the police station. Looks to me as if the shot is going towards anna Catherina

Cham, like you know cow dam good heh? Almost all the areas by the side lines are filthy. It's the peoples' dumping ground.
I really do not see cowdam. I am thinking the shot is moving towards Leonora Govt School, which is just past that Digicell billboard sign.
The plane was going toward Vreeden-Hoop. At around 1:16 is where they had the SkyLab Disco and the lumberyard, Leonora market and Roxy Cinema.

sk-man, i was there 2 yrs ago, whenever i went to visit my aunty i walked there from public rd, now they call it concrete strip. i saw no cow standing around as was usual
Concrete strip been deh since the seventies I think but definitely since the early 80's. Used to be called Cowdam I believe.
Btw, CocoT. Nice clean video.
That last turn on the road that lingered in the final moments of the video is by the old post office/railway line road right? To the left is a big building by itself,. what is that building.
Bai, the post office is before you get to the masjid. The last turn is just after the estate house. If you were going to Parika instead of Vreeden-Hoop, instead to banking that turn, you can go somewhat straight across to the Leonora market and Roxy Cinema.
That big building may be the old estate house.
I don't know how highlight stuff like some of you gurus but that little road that cuts across from left to right will take you to the market.

Kas , I am saying the old post office, many years ago the old post office was by the last turn (road leading into roxy/market etc) Then they moved the post office to opposite where I use to live. There is a story that not many people know about concerning the new post office, the builders read the blue prints wrong and the post office was built back to front, so the back of the post office is facing the public road. that was the mistake, It was too late to fix it.
Although I am slightly older than you Amral, my west coast days are mostly late 70s early 80s so I wouldn't know about that so I stand corrected.
Hi everyone. That video starts just around Stewartville, near the Leonora fire station. I flew over the masjid heading towards Leonora Government School. This week I will shoot some more and hopefully you guys will be able to recognize more of it.

That's correct Amral i remembered the Old Post Office on the Dam by the road leading to Roxy Cinema.[or Train Station]
Bear in mind the two turns came when the new road was built.
True Django. In those days there were lots of accidents because of the dangerous turns along some of these roads. As a result they created the new roads and got rid of some of those tight turns. I remember seeing many people at nights carting away wheelbarrows full of sand and fine stones that was dumped along the roadside for the building of the roads. Many bottom houses of both indians and blacks along the leonora/Stewartville side were enclosed using those things. Even my uncle took a helping too with me and others helping to cart it away
When i was little living at Hague Back,my mom will bring me out to visit my eldest aunt who lived at Cornelia Ida housing scheme,I also remembered the "high bridge" at Cornelia Ida.In 1965 my mom decided to move from Hague back and we settled at Cornelia Ida.
