    • Hazel attended Wonga Vale School, then Wirrega and sat for her Qualifying Certificate at Bordertown. The Wonga Vale School was built on land her father gave. For three years she was the only girl in her class with 19 boys. She learned reading, writing, arithmetic, history, geography, English, singing , drawing, sewing and nature study. It was one-teacher school always staffed by a female teacher. At school they played hockey, prisoners and robbers, football and cricket. At home they played together as a family cricket, football, hockey, hide and seek and touchy. When she left school at 14 she stayed home to help her mother. She played the piano, organ and the harp. For many years they had Church and Sunday School in their lounge room.
      They used to shop in Bordertown on Saturday mornings. When they paid cash for the groceries they were often given a large bag of sweets (one or two pounds). When they bought a dozen buns they got an extra on free (a baker's dozen). They ate lunch there and stayed in winter to see the football match.
