Yep! Rob's Carousel Restaurant at Albert Park in Melbourne - where'd they'd bring out your order and place it in trays on your windows - such a cool thing in those days!

And, trips down to see rellies in Rosebud, whilst riding in our schmick '53 Ford Customline, laying on the rear parcel shelf! Seatbelts? Not even heard of back then!

Gawd, I'd forgotten about my little sister sleeping on the "parcel shelf".

Come to think of it, why is it called a parcel shelf?   Didn't the boot/trunk hold enough for the purchases of the day?

Remember standing on the hump in the back to see over the bench seat, and seeing kids sitting in the back of utes facing backwards.

Gawd! Don't we cringe every time we remember what we got away with years ago?

I can also remember my cousin - a farm boy, owning an old FJ ute. Like all good farmboys, at 10 he could drive a car, a tractor and a motorbike!

We bolted seats onto the rear of the ute, welded up and fitted a roll cage, so when we hooned around and paddock-bashed, and rolled the car, we'd be safe!

Dirty, bruised, shaken up, but safe from serious injury. Or strapped to the metal tractor seat welded onto the bonnet, to shoot bunnies and foxes with a .22, spotlighting at night!

Ah - the rites of passage of a Australian youth!
