In 1933 Thomas ‘Ting’ Hammond purchased approx. one hundred acres of land at Yallingup in front of the historic Caves House Hotel site owned then by the state government. He built rental cottages and grew oats on the land.
Ting and his wife Silvia ‘Dorrie’ Doreen (nee Burkett) bought up their sons the late William ‘Garth’ and Graham ‘Jack’ on Yallingup hill.
Ting was a Dental Surgeon and had an effective medical suite with dental surgery and denture manufacturing workshop at the big house on Yallingup hill.
From 1933-36 Ting drove a 1930s Ford two door convertible. Ting’s wheels may be a 1933 Ford Model 40 Cabriolet Convertible.
