“And they say the young don’t take notice!”
The Broadhurst family lived on an adjoining property and we came to know them as Uncle Les and Aunty Maureen along with Brian, Dianne and Judith.
After they moved we spent many weekends at their little property at Jingellic on the border of Victoria and NSW.
Fishing for trout and playing tennis were favoured past times.
Uncle Les would milk his old cow every morning and if you were lucky enough to join him, he would get us to sample the warm milk straight from the udder.
“Just how Mother Nature intended!”
I remember Uncle Les would have tomato on toast for breakfast, with pepper and a little salt.
I remember one time we met the Broadhurst’ family down at Windang in the Illawarra for a few days in the school holidays. Spent some good times chasing crabs and little fish in the rock pools. The girls would often challenge us at tennis and sheep stations were placed on the line, or so it would seem. It’s unfortunate how our families grew apart for the reasons of general family life I guess.
