Yep, that's me in the arms of my father. This pic was taken in 1963 in Nababeep, Namaqualand, now part of the Northern Cape. We moved back to Cape Town when I started school.
My sister, Sandra (one year younger than me), now living in Perth, has the original pic which she scanned and emailed to me a few years back.
Nababeep is located at: S29 35 46.3 E17 47 12.7 (H DD MM.mmm) - Just in case you wish to look for it on Google Earth. It was a small copper minimg community back then, though it probably has not changed much over the years.
I would love to go back one day just see see the place where I grew up.
