    I can't resist -

    #I remember when there were only 2 types of people, blokes and sheilas !!
    #Our 'town car' was a Holden Premier, despite the 50miles to nearest town being dirt and the first 25 miles or so not much more than 2 wheel tracks with grass in between them and a few sandy creeks.....and you didn't see 4WDs in the big smoke!
    #Often driving 25-30 miles in the Willys jeep to visit cousins from about 8yo
    #First job after leaving school paid $40/week....7 days a week with maybe a day or half day off each fortnight...5am start every morning to milk the cow and fill the wood box before breakfast....sounds a bit tough by today's standard but I reckoned I had it made at the time!
    # I was about 28 before I had access a fixed line telephone.....remember the old black public phones ?? press button A...press button B !

    Loved the post about the dinosaurs....thanks to the Mrs, our 5yo is convinced I had one as a pet when I was his age!!!
