Heatherbrae and Raymond Terrace are right next to each other, 8 mins apart as per Google Maps.

Many people think they are stopping at Raymond Terrace but it is actually Heatherbrae, and it is one of the frequented stops on the Pacific Highway headed north in NSW.

OK, but there was also an earlier McDonalds stop at Wyong, to stretch their legs and use the toilets. They were on the road for about 5 hours starting from when the kids were picked up.

JLZ, I think the Wyong stop was at the Caltex Service Station

Yes, and there's a McDonalds there too whose inside toilets they used according to one of FFC's statements--IMO.

Raina, fair point about the use of the two place names that turned out to refer to the same McDonalds. I remember now looking them up and seeing they were so close together, realizing the same restaurant was indicated, but also that there was another McDonalds that was getting mentioned here and there. The place names by themselves meant nothing to me, NSW is not my territory, and it was confusing.

If FMC was correct about using the toilets at McDonalds Wyong, they would have been able to be seen on CCTV camera(s) there.

No, there is no McDonalds at the Wyong service centre where they stopped. Caltex servo.

The two place names do not refer to the same McDonalds at all. There are two McDonalds, one at Heatherbrae and another one approx 10 mins further north, at Raymond Terrace. So it does matter, for accuracy, which one is being referred to. I would have considered it very strange had they gone to the Raymond Terrace one instead of the Heatherbrae one, which, as SleepinOz points out, is the one most travellers on the M1 would use.

What I was querying was a supposedly approved mainstream source printing such an outright falsehood. After a source such as that publishes it, it then becomes accepted narrative, on here as well as on other pages. And causes confusion, as you pointed out.

In addition to my previous post ... Likewise, if they called in to McDonalds at Raymond Terrace they would have been recorded on CCTV cameras there.

The Coroner released only CCTV photos of the family recorded at the Heatherbrae McDonalds; which would have been the last McDonalds visit that we have been told about.

....... JMO - Whether there have been any other stops that the FMC did not supply to Strikeforce remains unknown.

BBM--There was one, but it got converted to a Hungry Jacks.

I seem to remember that the other McDonalds (where they had a meal) wasn't the one on the highway, it was in a little nest of streets.

The photo released by the Coroner is described as being CCTV McDonalds Heatherbrae on 11/9/2014 at approx 6.26 pm.

JMO - It is purported to be William on the shoulders of the MFC; together with the FMC and William's sister!

McDonalds Raymond Terrace...I have seen this reported before, but I always thought they stopped at Heatherbrae, not Raymond Terrace? Does anyone know if this is actually correct?

The washing machine... I think this is significant in some way. It seems the FGM did not tell her daughter about the washing machine until she arrived. Why? Surely she would have told her so they could plan to bring more clothes etc for the children? Also she told her the parts had been ordered two weeks ago, when actually it was only a few days prior? Again why say that? I have always thought she was developing dementia, there are tell tale signs in the walk through as well.
But what if there is another more sinister reason?
I can understand why she might say she ordered the parts weeks ago...😏...I'm in my 70's now, and my mind's not as sharp as it once was....My hubby and I are both less than organised compared to our younger years----

When talking to our kids we do sometimes try to cover up some of our mental gaffes---it's like we are recreating their teen years, but in reverse. Now WE are making excuses, telling white lies to make us look less irresponsible, just like they did at 16, to cover their mistakes.

Perhaps FGM didn't want to admit she had just called 2 days earlier, so she said it was much earlier than that ? I don't think it was for sinister reasons, just trying to avoid looking irresponsible or old and forgetful?

not a high quality photo. Could be developed pecs, could be gynecomastia.

I wonder if the Coroner is aware of those different McDonalds close by;
.... and has she been able to clarify which McDonalds (Raymond Terrace OR Heatherbrae) t0 which the released CCTV photos belongedl?

..... and in connection with which of the McDonalds they did visit,
..... could the actual route(s) driven by the Foster Parents have any bearing on the case? JMO

It certainly doesn't look like a man. And doesn't look like the images of FF in the walkthrough a couple of days later. Looks like he has some sort of backpack pressing on his chest.

ABC reported as Heatherbrae from the inquest when the Coroner released the footage and Police described it as Heatherbrae. It certainly looks like Heatherbrae to me. But I am not familiar with the others, maybe they all look alike.:D
Regardless, Heatherbrae would be the logical stop, why would they drive 10 minutes off their route to visit Raymond Terrace?

Yes, possible. She maybe was confusing how long the washing machine was broken with how long since the parts were ordered.
But there is a strong body of opinion on here that believes she was involved in whatever went down and actively covering it up. I dont subscribe to that, but plenty do.
Because she was never officially interviewed, and she died not long after the inquest started, so we will never know now.

Conspiracy theories love a vacuum where it can never be disproved.

JMO - I agree that if they didn't veer from their route travelling along the Pacific Highway it would seem logical to stop at the Heatherbrae McDonalds.

The identification of their meal purchase/consumption at McDonalds at Raymond Terrace was sourced from: https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/p...e/news-story/38baa59f1db54e441f01cc11a6af6eba .. August 5, 2019 - 6:31AM.

AND THEN perpetuated here on Jan 11, 2022

"4pm: The foster parents collect William and his sister from childcare and start the drive up to Kendall one day earlier than planned, via the F3, stopping en route at Caltex, Wyong and then, at 6.35pm, Raymond Terrace McDonalds."

Why/How did the two different McDonalds being quoted crept in as being described as where they ate their meal on 11/9/2014?

.... Maybe the FMC herself was confused because she googled to establish/confirm the address of the McDonalds where they ate their meals, and mistakenly quoted it as Raymond Terrace. (And initially nobody checked it out).

BBM. FGM didn't appear at the inquest and she didn't undergo crime commission interrogation. But she was "officially interviewed" as I would understand those words.

What am I missing? Is it really that important which Macca's they stopped at?
 
  • #1,540
If even the restaurant, they stopped at, cannot be identified and is incorrectly named, what can one expect from all their other statements?
Something seems wrong with the whole story and/or timeline, and we really need to find out, what it is after so many years.
MOO
