Myself and my 5 of my siblings were born at Harrisdale Hospital. My Mum used
to talk about "Matron and Elsie". Apparently both of them used to have
cigarettes hanging out the side of their mouths while delivering babies! I
think it was at 272 Canning Highway.

Hello
I was born in Harrisdale Hospital 17 November 1946 straight after the war.
My Mother would point it out when we came to the city and it was a lovely
old homestead. Does anyone have an original of the hospital.
I live now just down the road and It is all units now.
Many thanks
Lorraine Hewett
