Ah mate. 1960's to early 70's Melb. Uni. scene [a fresh face kid just down from Surfers Paradise where I grew up, to move into a shared house with cousin Silvia a librarian at Latrobe library with the rent at $18 total for a 4 bedroom terrece house], the Carlton scene, the parties, the pubs with live bands,the $2 flagons of red [glass flagons] and green ginger wine ....and the women. oh the women [and the mini's]! Duffle coats and desert boots, the politics, the demo's, burning of draft cards [not this boy though], Ryan the last man hung....'Jonnies Green Room' open 24/7 [pool],

'All meals half a crown standing up or lying down' was the sign at the cafe next to the Carlton 'Bug House' [cinema] which had canvas seats and with a girl you could ..... anyway brought a tear to this old eye thinking of those days.

M/Valley night trots and Saturday racing with my Grandfather who bred a few horses out on his farm at templestowe on the yarra [yes farm, no suburbs past Heidelberg in those days]. Being picked up by him in Carlton in his big old fashioned Jag that always smelt of leather, hay and horses.

The introduction to the mysterious punt and all his racetrack mates from the stables to the members. A great old ****** who is now probably still among his punting mates and twisting a Bookie's arm up in the 'top paddock' [must be a few that made it up there] for 'fair odds' on long dead champions, still racing 'furlongs' on feathered racetracks among those wispy clouds .. ...'give me 5's, give me 5's on the big grey' !

Cheers to all.
