Remember making boomerangs and other shapes out of pop sticks.

I got my first knife when I was about 12 ,boy did that open up a new world.
Now I could carve points on my home made spears and swords, miss that knife
from memory it was a twin blade stockman, it is some where in the teatrees down Kilcunda
Typical bunny knife of the time

A Buck Stockman is what I have in my pocket now.

Here is an oldie had it at least 40+ years blade is getting a bit thin. It a Sliver Spur Kershaw. I never liked the stockman type to damn heavy and wont fit in a fog pocket. I brought it as a older boy so I could value something quality and not loose it.

That blade has been sharpened just once or twice.... lol

I remember when I was a boy, some mongrel took a little bit of skin from me. lol

PML.:smiley_thumbs_up:

Your licence was on paper and if you used liquid paper to cover and redo the dates and your paper shop had the new colour copier you could make realistic fake ID's for your mates. Just had to scrunch them up a bit to get some authenticity into them.

when I was a boy the noise from Essendon Airport was deafening, this was before Tullamarine or Melbourne airport were built.
when I was a boy I used to walk to Windy Hill and watch Essendon play sitting in the Peppercorn trees near the score board.
When I was a boy my footy team did not know what peptides were.
