Yep, remember most of them too.
Used to ride down to the park, leave the bike against a tree all day and catch yabbies for lunch and at the end of the day the bike would still be there.
Or we'd gift a lift down to the beach and fish for snapper or flathead off the pier.
Me Ma used to give me $1 and send me to the milkbar to buy some milk, bread and a pack of smokes for her.
No underage laws to worry about cos the shopkeeper knew they weren't for me.
Bloody great fun.
Had a combination tv and stereo cabinet in the 70's. Tv on the right and stereo under counter on right. the top lifted up and I think the sides dropped too. Anyone remember those?
Or tv's with remotes(?) connected by a lead?

I nearly got quashed as a nipper by hiding in our coal bunker. Oops! It was quite an event for me ,what with all the various trades people coming to the house those days. Only the postman visits now really. Times sure have changed.

I was 9 years old in 1963 when we emigrated from Manchester to Canada. It was like going into the future, I was amazed at how modern everything was.
