Presentation by Rhonda McKinnon Growing Up in Doll's Point I grew up in Doll's Point where I enjoyed the pleasures of living in this seaside suburb of Sydney. We took a short trolley bus ride to school each weekday and weekends were spent in the playgrounds at Dolls Point Park. We were never short of a friend as the streets were lined with children of the same age. Some of these friendships have lasted a lifetime. My fond memories of these times need to be documented so "Growing Up At Dolls Point" is my story.
