In another entry about the Monterey Cafe in Gilgandra, I revealed that "...I was born in Gilgandra, in 1952, and left after completing my schooling in 1969. From about the end of WWII, until mid-1975 - Gilgandra, population, 2,900 - was a very Kytherian town. 5 families - the Pentes, Sklavos, Kelly (Yannokellies), Psaltis (Protopsaltis), and Poulos (Tzortzopoulos) - lived in close proximity to each other - culturally, residentially, and commercially.

Several months later he had occasion to be grateful for local Greek hospitality. On a wintry evening, travelling with several members of the Advisory War Council from Melbourne to Canberra, he reached Gundagai towards midnight, just as Jack ...

Pictures from the Exhibition. New York Cafe. 1. The New York Cafe was situated slap bang in the middle of Junction St., which was also known as the Main Street, in Nowra. The banks, including the Rural Bank, (now the State Bank), The Bank of NSW (Westpac) and the Commonwealth, as well as the Post office and various and sundry chemists and the odd general store were in the same short and narrow strip of a street which began in a swamp and ended on the edge of a cliff overlooking ...
Pictures from the Exhibition. 11. Jack Vlandys at the back of the New York Cafe, Nowra. He was Sam Vlandy's brother. Jack was from the village of Kalokairines, in Kythera. He was the son of Panayiotis and Eleni Vlandys. He was married to Grigoria Vlandys and they had two sons, Peter, born in Greece, Sam, born in Nowra.
Pictures from the Exhibition. 7 Theodore and Metty Mavromattes, behind the counter of the New York Cafe in Nowra, probably in the early 1950's. Metty was the niece of Theo's business partner, Sam Vlandys. They married in 1952 and had three children, Kathy (Kiriaki)1953, Maria (Marika)1956 and Leo (Elias)1958.
Pictures from the Exhibition. 9 This photo was taken somewhere in Queensland, and it features from left to right, Ligeri Comino from Armidale, NSW, her daughter Helen, her little niece Maria Mavromattes and her brother, Theo Mavromattes, from Nowra.It was probably taken by Metty Mavromattes, who had emerged as family photographer at the time.
Pictures from the Exhibition. 8 We're unsure where this rather fabulous, cinema-noir-quality photo was taken, but we're pretty sure it features Peter Castrisios (who had a touch of the movie stars about him, himself, really), from Tasmania. If anyone can place the cafe, it would be appreciated.
Pictures from the Exhibition. 4 Metty Mavromattes standing at the front counter of the New York Cafe, Nowra. She probably knitted the cardigan she's wearing herself, because amongst all the other things she was brilliant at, she was a fantastic knitter. Note the tray of mandarins and the loose liquorice allsorts in the cabinets. They used to weigh the sweets and pour them into cellophane bags which were then sealed with a sort of serrated-edged iron thingummy that melted the bags ...
Pictures from the Exhibition. 3 Theo and Metty Mavromattes with their nephew, Peter Comino, from Armidale, eldest child of Ligeri and Jack Comino. The baby is probably their daughter, Kiriaki (Kathy). This was taken in the last booth near the kitchen in the New York Cafe, Nowra, where the family habitually sat.
Pictures from the Exhibiton. 2 A very young Theodore Mavromattes, sans moustache, but with hair, probably taken in Wollongong.If you look closely you'll see that under the uniform he wore a tie. These young men worked hard but they were always dapper.
Pictures from the Exhibiton. 1 Information please, name, date if possible and place????
