Meat pies could stay in the pie Warmer for hours. Sauce was free.
Dimsims would be in the bain marie
If you wanted to see a TV show you had to be there or miss out.

Remember when you could go to the river for a swim 2 weeks out from Christmas and there wasn't 30 caravans parked along the sand bar. All empty. All saving their spot for Christmas...

Actually, remember when you could get a spot for camping over Christmas!

Trying to un-see that.

Can't.

Worked my way through school as a monitor.
2 years in primary school as milk monitor. Put the milk out in class crates until recess, collect and wash bottles until lunch.
First year at high school as bin/furnace monitor after recess and lunch.
Second year as sprinkler monitor. Had to leave class every hour (for half hour) to move sprinklers during summer.
Do not know how the hell I ever got to year 12 let alone pass.

my old man talks about those days, and going to work with $1.00 for his lunch
I cant wait for things to Shit themselves and interest rates go up to 10%! The look on peoples faces crying about .25 will be priceless

When you could walk into a small corner store and buy a REAL hamburger with flavor... and the dude in the shop would know your name, and ask how your parents are (by name too)...

The servo where Beetsons mum used to serve you, and dad would put a massive $5 of fuel in, and he'd let me check the oil and fill it..

A carton of tallies = $4.90

A Golden Gaytime = .10c

Potato scollops = 10 for .8c

Fuel = 3.5c/ltr

Could get a bag of lollies = 64 for 10c

A jug of beer = $3.50 and rum an coke jug = $5

Race go-carts down the street and play tenis and cricket without getting run over.

Have the dump man chase you on foot for flogging bits and pieces to make a push bike.

Having recently had my old man pass away memories of growing up have been strong in my mind lately. My favourites would have to be –

Getting a clip under the ear and a lecture from the old man for sneaking onto the local rifle range to dig through the mounds to get lead to make into sinkers for fishing. Followed by watching the old man get a lecture from his mum about going crook on the kids for something he did as a kid. "that was different" wasn't a defence. Love my nanna.

Fishing with the old man and nanna on the river bank next to the abattoir outlet pipe. Watching nanna with a fish hook stuck in her finger, casually push it through, snip the barb off with the pliers and then pull it back through and keep fishing. No fuss, no drama, no 4 hours in ED.

Walking down the main street on a Saturday morning as a 12 year old with a .22 slung over my shoulder to go rabbiting. And where was my old man while I was loose with this lethal weapon ? About a step to the left.

Sadly today the first memory would be child abuse, the second would be elder neglect or some such and the third would probably be child abuse or too dangerous or a blood sport or some other dung.

To the original poster (and all contributors) thanks for starting (and continuing) this thread. Reading the posts brought back a lot of memories.
