The good old days when your bus driver wore a short tie, but could run with the choice between a very nice tunic, or the trusty cardigan.
Where did those days go ..... @Drover, @chartrock, and clues guys.
They are too far back for me to remember.:noidea:
Great effort for getting them scanned and posted.
Ours are still in the shed....have been for years.....but I'm inspired to go searching.
Well done!

The memories, well I did have the tie in my Coach Captain days but drew the line at cardigans and RAAF Flying jacket was the cold weather apparel.............................I love these pics.
Is that you in the pic? You dont look like your too fond of your co-captain in that pic
No way, I upset The Dog they don't like me......besides when these pics were taken I was just a twinkle.
OMG. They not even tents, just tarps and sticks. Why didn't they just take the Jayco?
For 15sec i thought that was bare backside hanging out of the tent on the right. Funny how i notice these things
Ayres Rock? ... Mt Olga? Sorry, where are they again?

Now i know why mum had an old hessian camp stretcher. Looks like it was a great trip and a real adventure. Will see what we dig up next.
Great stuff @megcam , yep hessian stretchers, square canvas tents with wooden poles and ropes, a small awning out the front and a metho stove for cooking, can opener, billy and camp oven with a Coolgardie to keep the milk and butter in, nothing else was needed...................................Wow.
And an en suite was a shovel and a roll of toilet paper and a torch so you knew where to dig.
And lights were powered by metho if you were lucky
And a comfortable bed was at home...and you weren't there.

Navy used to have beer issue at sea with the Large cans, 20c each usually Resch's Pilsener, sailors will drink anything, oh we drew the line at EMU and West End...........................................you can still find the rusty hulks of steel tinnies from years gone by in out of the way places........eg: across the river from Nindigully Pub.
Magnificent @megcam I want more!!!! and there is only a like button no Love it button!!!!
Thanks @The Goodwins. It's quite enjoyable scanning up the slides to see what surprises come next. Time consuming though so not much more to share. Does anyone know where this might be?
