In 1939, Judy used to walk with her grandmother from her home in Nicholson Road, Subiaco, across to the airfield, which is now part of McGillivray Oval, west of the camps. She remembered that there were no roads, it was all bush, with big trees. In the bush, they came across isolated camps, there was never anyone there. Some camps were tin humpies others were made from rags – stuff people had thrown out – resting on a framework of big sticks. The rag and stick camps were a curved shape, like a quarter of an apple resting on the ground.
