I remember the public transport 'rules'....we were drilled at school that we must always give our seats to an adult, male or female.
Speaking of Rowe Street....nice coffee...think I had my first cup there. Rosalie Norton was a character and Bea Miles too..remember getting a bus, that she 'comandeered' the driver, refusing to pay (as always) and quoted Shakespeare instead!:^O Was very entertaining....apparently she was very well off, and her family would round her up, give her a bath and some clean clothes every week, and turn her loose again.
Does anyone remember "Bumper" Farrel? The cop who was well known at Kings Cross, and who regularly raided the Ladies of the Night houses....Chapel Street (Lane)??
We used to go out in groups for coffee at the Cross and then we would all drive up Chapel Street for a gawk, then drive down through the city and park all in a row one behind the other (MGB'S) in ............ that was before they closed it off to motor traffic. Can't for the life of me remember the name of that huge area in between George and Pitt etc. where the war memorial is and where they hold the dawn services? Help! bluddy memory.;\
You might be thinking of Martin Place? How could you forget Gil ?
B was actually studying law when she was young, apparently she was brilliant, but it seems something happened to her - the gossip was she was over stressed with study... don't know 😞
Yes Bumper Farrel and the Cross and the Ladies of the Night houses.
