Triggered some nice memories there dino ... that unforgettable sound of the billy cart hammering at warp speed down the hill click click as it rolls over the concrete segments in the footpath then as you near the bottom it suddenly hits you that in your haste to complete the building of the speed wagon you`d forgotten to include a decent braking system!

Still remember the simple joy of neighbourhood street cricket matches and kick to kick footy in the middle of the road

Kids loved the bonfires that were lit periodically at night
Everyone had an incinerator
VFL football players would do the garbo runs in off season as a job and to stay fit lifting and emptying heavy metal rubbish bins
In those days footballers like Ron Barrassi were decent role models

All the kids stayed skinny then because they were active regardless of how much soft drink or sweets they consumed
