Ootha

"In the early days, the visit of an old Chinese called "Ah Foo" with his covered van and two horses was the main source of vegetable and fruit supplies. The visit was looked upon as one of life's highlights by the Shelley Children. The old hawker continued to trade in the district as late as the mid-twenties and came from Bogan Gate."
