During WWII he worked on roads, the old airstrip between Mt Keira and Wilton and the installation of the Tank Traps in the area. After the war he was employed at Tongarra Mine until 1956-7. He then worked at Tallawarra Power Station for a short time before joining Shellharbour Council until he retired in 1975. Lew built the Albion Park RSL next to his own home. When the RSL needed to expand, the Club used the old home and built Lew and Essie a new house opposite. Lew was a great source of local history for the Tongarra Heritage Society.LocationAlbion ParkDonorStubbs, Lew & Family
