I remember bath night Sunday, eeewk cant imagine only bathing once a week, However, they did cloth wash thoroughly all over every day...and were always clean.  No deodorants, but they used talcum powder. New subject.  I remember when the fisherman used  handnets on the northern beaches.  Any kid that helped them pull in the nets to the beach got as much fresh fish as they could carry to take home.

I remember mum using talc powder, as that is all there was, and we had big open fires in the dining room, and lounge room.
