I remember when . . . .

[harry_h01]

I remember:

- panda chips
- fishing in the Nth Pine river and catching fish
- walking along the railway lines home, and not being run down by an electric train
- sitting under the train bridges holding my ears and feeling the vibrations as the trains went over
- catching my first fish at Sandgate (near the highway overpass now)
- riding to school without a bike helmet
- doing a paper run
- catching yabbies in the old cow paddocks down the back of Petrie

I remember when the only place that you could buy after-hours petrol in Brisbane was at Barnes Auto at the quiet end of Adelaide Street. #You had to drive into their garage which appeared like a cave from the outside and then do a u-turn in tight space to get to the pump on the way out.

Jeez I had forgotten that place Charleville. Thats a long way back. And then the garages bought in the coin machines. We used to scrape together a dozen or so 2 bobs and that would give us enough petrol in the FC to shoot down to the Gold Coast and back on a Friday night.

I remember when you could go to Fraser Island and not have to put up with lunatics destroying everything they encountered, leaving rubbish everywhere and driving like maniacs on the beach......it was actually a pleasant place to visit!
As a famous Australian group once sang...Living in the Seventies!!!!
