710573	2008-10-08 00:01:00	I remember, during school holidays, after all the gardening has been done (veggies planted, weeds pulled, etc) we were allowed to go and play on the islands near our town (it was next to a huge river). So for the next two weeks our parents did not see us, nor did they worry where we were or what we ate. Mum knew that we could look after ourselves - fishing, catching birds, eating wild fruit, etc. Needless to say we could swim before we could walk. Glorious times. I wish my children could grow up like that - and they did, to a certain extent. sarel	sarel (2490)

If you were lucky they would give you a feel up as well.:clap I had a Godbothering principal at primary school who strapped me and my friend for playing catch n kiss with the girls in our class. We were only 6 at the time to be fair. He was a tosser. Didn't stop us either!! :punk	nofam (9009)

710577	2008-10-08 00:21:00	Geez you're a dodgy old bastard Roscoe! :D Good on ya. I object to "dodgy old." Just because that was in the 1950s does not give you the right to use that term! You must remember that those were the days before sex had reared its ugly (?) head. We knew that girls were different but we did not understand why. It certainly was fun discovering the difference. Ken: Well before. While steam trains were interesting and hot, they could not raise the steam between your ears in the same way a sweet young thing could.:) [He smiled knowingly.]	Roscoe (6288)
710578	2008-10-08 01:12:00	Me and my brother rode around on our bikes, made rope swings in trees, which involved climbing them first, had various games that involved jumping from things like a fence to the garage roof and back, swam in rivers and lakes well dog-paddled cause I couldn't actually swim, got cool things like chemistry sets for presents and we spent ages trying to blow things up with it, and so on. Great fun.	pctek (84)
710579	2008-10-09 08:21:00	Well, I'm a lot older than most of you. We had a train station next to our house and the steam trains ran right through the centre of town. The story was that if you stood too close to a steam train going fast, you'd get sucked into the wheels. I still remember the exhilaration of standing right beside the track with this snorting monster bearing down on you. It took all my courage not to take a step backwards. At the station there was a red semi-circular storage building made of corrugated iron. Inside were sacks and sacks of wheat. The story was that if you chewed a mouthful of wheat for long enough it would turn into chewing gum, so we'd use our pocket knives to open the sacks. We never got caught, but we never chewed long enough to get gum either.	TideMan (4279)

Life With Dexter, Dan Dare, childrens request session, Flick The Fire Engine, Diana and the Golden Apples etc etc. One of my favourite stories was The Snow Goose. Had a creek running through the farm where we use to go eeling, catching carp, building dams. Use to go shooting, ducks, magpies, rabbits, hares couldn't stomach doing any of that now. So on the farm as a kid always plenty to do. Didn't know what the word bored meant that you hear so many kids using today. :)	Trev (427)
