A true legend of the suburb left our corner of the world today: Caitlin.

She flew to New York this morning for a brief holiday before resettling in Brisbane.

We at the Surry Hills Times can hardly believe it.

Caitlin was a fixture of Surry Hills.

Always friendly. Always up for a chat.

She will be missed by many, particularly those at the Carrington Hotel where she commanded the corner of the bar.

Her name has been inscribed on a corner barstool for the end of eternity.

God speed Caitlin. We wish you well. Come back anytime. We’ll buy you a vino of five thousand.
