oh some wonderful memories on here..........
I remember the Black and White TV - Test Patten after 11.00pm
my Father going to Vietnam in '67
driving across the Nullarbor Xmas '68 - was just a dirt road...............
watching the first man on the moon (apparently it did not happen according to some conspiracy theorist )
Royal Easter Show in 1969 - as a treat because we were going to PNG for 2 years (used to be called while we were there "Territory Of Papua and New Guinea" TPNG)
I remember the 25th anniversary of the ending of the War in the Pacific at a monument they built near Wewak (where we lived for 2 years)
driving across the Nullarbor in '75 - still a dirt road
in the 70's, I remember Number 96 with Abigail............

The smell of the kitchen.
Wood stove, blackberry pie or a roast in the oven, green tomato pickles or preserves burbling on the top, fresh kero/wax polish on the lino.
Way better than the smell of plucking a chook or gutting a sheep.
21st July 1969 - streets deserted like an abandoned town, everything stopped and silent - every living soul gathered around the nearest black and white telly with halted breath, to see man set foot on the moon.
Bringing more back from the tip than you took there.
Taking 10 minutes to pick up the newspaper and the rest of the morning to get home (talking to everyone else picking up the paper)
Trying to give away chokos or lemons .
Mulberry fights, (or lillypilly fights) and trying to get out the stains before you got home.
Night Drifting (donuts) at the quarry in Kingswoods and Falcons shooting fireworks at each other out the windows.
Lobbing rows of tom thumbs over the wall of the open air theatre, or sneaking onto the roof of the projectionists hut for a free show (or dousing with the fire hose if you were caught)

"Can't" is a dirty 4 letter word.
Best way to deal with a "Can't" is to chop off the "t" and brew it in boiled water for a few minutes.
Sip on the "t", and consider what you've got left to work with

I remember having cuts all up my arms, legs and on my face from gathering enough blackberries for my mum to make a pie.
It was always worth every cut.

You all must remember that TV turned off over night after "Epilogue"
and re started in the morning. staying up watching the test pattern was not fun
We used to go as a family to Heildelberg park[end of Bell st]
to collect bags and bags of quinces and billies full of black berries
Quince jelly oh yeah
Mum would preserve fruit all the time. Peach, apricot, necterine
you name it.
I think a dying art these days, I fear
@Plasnart dont forget the penny on the train tracks you could squish one of those suckers to nearly 4" long lol

The Mavis Bramston show - still some of the funniest material ever on TV.
2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder
And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.
