Hmm

Going into storage closet at recess with best mate dave to test milk bottle caps moulded to fit on willy's...a little milk fat in the cap and spun around with the finger...certainly at the forefront of Tin foil hats and such....
Smoking cane straws behind the air raid shelter.
Leaf propellers made from Morton bay fig leaves.
Ink monitor privileges.
The principals very special classroom visits with poetry recitals..of "The Highwayman"
" Bess the landlords black eyed daughter "
gosh what a tart she was....
......
and the jokes about "
I honour my god
I serve my queen (aside guffaws of "with a cup of tea and a biscuit")
I salute the flag.......
Gosh the things we remember...mostly great times but...
when my old man turned up pissed to a parent teacher night.....

After school pinching empty bottles from the back of the local shop and cashing them in around the front...

Had a Californian cousin visit in mid 50's with a "sidewalk skater"..It was a pressed metal wheeled skateboard, perhaps a first, certainly in OZ..
