​Christine Shaw

​SYNOPSIS
Christine and Tony Shaw migrated from the UK in 1966, and charmed by the rural beauty of the Woronora Valley – and low cost of housing - chose to settle in Prince Edward Park Road, Woronora. Christine tells of her adjustment as a migrant from city life in England to the remote, undeveloped hamlet she grew to love.
