Former residents return to where they spent early years

It was a trip down memory lane for two of Pingelly’s former residents, who recently returned to the town for the first time in years.

Brother and sister Simon Machlin, 88, and Alisa Shineberg, 94, lived in Pingelly as children before moving to Perth.

The pair returned to Pingelly earlier this year to visit the town and school.

They were joined by Mrs Shineberg’s daughter Helen Shineberg and nieces Elana Geldenhuys and Dawn Hudson-Taylor.

The family moved to Australia from Palestine in the mid-1920s.
