yes I remember Coles and Woolies cafetiera's and David Jones had one as well. Ten Teeny i had exactly the same lunch on a Monday and only on Monday's. Bay City Rollers.

For me, I remember

Taping songs of the radio and making sure no one made a noise, also hoping the presenters didnt cut it short or talk over it!

Atari!

Elastics, skipping rope (two each side) and marbles got me through my primary lunchtimes. Oh and hopscotch!

Hey hey it's Saturday!

Spending all day outside and able to visit friends way away on my bike when I was as young as 6.

Can't remember the name of them but the knitted things that we wore over our shins. Scrunchies.

Cabbage patch dolls, garbage pail kids cards!

Flouro everything.

Can't think of anymore from the 80s

My older brother had a slot car set in the figure of 8.

I also vaguely remember when Kmart had a big eatery in the middle of their store.

Oh yeah the slot cars, had many hrs of fun with my brother with his 🙂

RThe postman came twice a day during the week, and on Saturday mornings.

Did you Protex yourself this morning...it has the smell of the Australian bush  (and we kids said....who wants to smell like the Australian bush)

Johnston's Baby Powder.  Best for baby, best for you (and we kids said....also best for thickening stew)

The Saturday afternoon pictures..... 3 serials (including Jack Armstrong the all American Boy  followed by a movie, interval, cartoons and then the main movie.  thripence in the stalls, sixpence upstairs.

One of the first washing machines.   A Whirlpool Twin Tub.  Dubbed the tanglematic

The laundry mangle breaking the buttons. .

The Left Footers and Proddies yelling at one another from school buses.

No cuss words in the home or outside the home.   I once got a belting for telling my sister to shut up (this was swearing)

A classroom of 45 well behaved kids who actually learnt their lessons.

Getting a star stamped on the back of your hand if you did something great at school.......so you could show your parents.  

Empire Day, Arbour Day, Wattle Day.

Marching at assembly to the tune of Colonel Boogie.

I stuck my arm in one of those wringers when I was 6. Hurt like hell:-)

school dances where we had to do the barn dance, a waltz and some step thing, lessons at school first so we knew the dances. Having to have your hair put up in a "do" for the big dance.
