The West Indies Cricket team weren't human, they were machines and unbeatable buying throwdowns at cracker week (yeah it was suppose to be one night buy ours lasted all week :lol: ) and being able to set off your own fire crackers :?
Throwing lemons from your cousins tree as far as you could in a piopulated neighbourhood :sarcasm:

For cracker night we'd fill the old wheelbarrow up with dirt and start letting them off, have the catherine wheel nailed to the closest tree that would always get stuck :lol: my fav was the parachute cracker although the parachute would always end up about 5 neighbours houses down and we'd never find it

Learning about Wilhem (*sp*) Janz, Dirk Hartog, Abel Tasman in early primary school....yes actually something prior to Jimmy Cook & Artie Phillip. I also remember wasting a year learning about baboons, caribou & salmon in a stupid thing called MACOS (Man a Course of Studies). More priority was given to it over the course of the year than to the "3 Rs".

Remember walking or riding your bike to school as an 8 year old either on your own or with your mates...no adults supervising, crossing roads without looking. "God awful" warm milk free at recess in summer (okay in winter though). Stopping at your mates place on the way home and so long as you were home in tim for dinner your parents didn't worry.

School excursions to Warragamba Dam and actually seeing the gates draining excess water.

The African Lion Safari.

No such thing as a BMX when the Malvern Star with the T shift & the high sissy bar ruled.
