I haven't visited the site for some time...it's looking better all the time. Just retired end of August 2009 and moved back to Canada after 23 years in Belgium. I lived in Shilo from 1952 until 1960, although my family returned to live there in later years while I was in university.
The murder that is referred to in an earlier post happened when a young soldier shot his former girlfriend and her new soldier boyfriend out of jealousy. I still remember the blood soaked cardboard covering the spot. The military police interviewed my good friend Tony Findlay who witnessed the murder.
Shilo was a special time and, like others must feel, it left an enduring stamp on my life. When I lived there, it was Princess Elizabeth Public School, the Hostess Hut and the Sports Palace. Waggel Springs was the destination of choice and only Harvey McGee, the greatest of all teachers, was the only person in town who had a guitar.
Good wishes to all old timers from the Jurassic period in Shilo.
