I Remember when I was a Boy

[TPC]

When a great day or bad day was determined by either landing a speccy jump on ya pushy or stacking it. Fark for such simplicity now haha!

Yea, now you either land a speccy jump in your Patrol or stack it and do 10k damage.

Running down to the local milk bar to buy the old man a pack of Dunhill cigarettes and getting annoyed when the price jumped closer to 20 CENTS a pack, as it lessened the left over amount you got to spend on lollies! I am thinking this was around 1967 - 68.

Brothers being given a gift of an original ‘Tirfor’ great bit of torture kit at the fun times!
Oneday our futuristic self powered versions will fail and we’ll be glad to have packed the extra 20kg + cable carry spool :-)

They are heavy and take up a bit of space too but cannot fail.

Managed to double kink its cable in my stupid 20’s Tony, he’d be pissed mate!
Never ever slack off and hook/tie point a vehicle drag that last few metres. Old school Tirfors don’t slip, just lock down jaws and wreck the beaut spool, idiot MB20350 :-)

Going around the rabbit traps at night as a young boy with the kero lantern and being taught not to put the lamp next to the set. Rabbits would know that somethings up. Use to get 7 and sixpence a pair and wired up the skins to dry. Mid 60's (10yrs of age). Main activity for many yrs apart from building wooden billy carts.

Don't think battery powered torches were around then, we certainly did not have one anyway.

Should be bliss couple of nights and quiet as (Just me). Probably a few brumbies poking around, but they can be a bit curious and unpredictable sometimes. S-E of Kiandra (Snowy Mnts).

Someone has to be there. .. lol
