Who remembers when the radio was the wireless? Then the tranny 

I posted this pic in one of the photo themes. How tiny was the room!

I remember going to the beach one day, and this young girl had the latest in portable music players - it was a battery powered record player and she had one of those big black round things in it - you know the ones .... I think they called them 'albums'. Everyone was enthralled by this technology.

I also remember when my Aunty got her first TV - black-and-white of course. Her brother (my uncle) used to watch the footbal (soccer) - he loved it. When the ball went out of camera (say to the right of screen), he used to look out the side of the screen for the ball. It took us a long time to convince him that the camera would catch up sooner or later.

after a night on the juice, went to various places, there was a small burger shop on canning hwy that made the best homemade style pizzas and tacos. i think they're still there after all this time. it was on a corner so the side street was always packed with cars. you'd eat your order sat on the bonnet, or chit chat with the others.

also a place in northbridge, for chillie muscles mmmm, you'd get a huge bowl ....for cheaps

I also remember that as kids (8-10) we used to go out and play in the local playgrounds without supervision. One place we used to go was an old sand pit, about 100ft deep and we used to climb up the walls - fell down more often that not. A place we used to swim at -gravel pit - it was an old gracel pit - flooded when a major flood event happened in England where we lived, and the ocean level was raised so far that it penetrated about 15 miles inland - when the flood receeded, it left the gravel pit full of water. It was about 80-100 feet deep in most places. We had so much fund in those places - of course mum would have had a fit if she knew.

Joz, I think that place was Uncle Vinnies and they served the mussels in big buckets!!

If you're anywhere near the sth-eastern suburbs, you might remember Hippo's Hamburgers on Dandenong Rd. THE place to hang out after a serious night on the grog - and only after 1-2am!

They've moved to Springvale Rd, Springvale, and the new owners don't hold a candle to the sloppy, greasy burgers from the original! Yep...heart attacks, just waiting to happen!

Ah...great big, greasy hamburgers at 2am - heaven on a stick (without the stick!).
