    I remember a Joey kept in a sugar bag hanging on the kitchen door, and making Fairies houses out of sticks and setting fire to the hayshed (aged 4)
    I remember stepping on a rabbit dung heap and getting snapped by a rabbit trap my dad had set.
    We trapped a wild cat, it got away with a rabbit trap and lived under the house, us kids were petrified to go outside.
    Darn those rabbit traps were cruel, but those were the days.
    Still remember it all, even 60 years later lol
    Cheers, the ferret.
    Love the ute Ferret LMFAO

    I can remember the old man would give us kids 2 bob (shillings/ 20c) to go to the movies on Friday nights,
    1 shilling to get in, 6 pence for an ice cream at 1/2 time and 3 pence for a bag of lollies & still have 3 pence left.
    He used to get drunk on 10/- for those that remember. Bloody history and good times.
