Sunburn was good.

Captain CAAAVE-MAAAN!

I had hair, shoulder length, full of sand and surfboard wax.

$1 hot chips with vinegar that could feed a family.

Being sent to the shops on my BMX to buy dads smokes, bread and milk.

Only race car drivers wore helmets (and the occasional road motorcyclist).

MTB’s didn’t exist and when they did appear - looked silly.

You made a skateboard from an old roller-skate and fence paling because no-one over the age of 15 knew what a skateboard was.

You could go down a dirt track without being chased out by the fun-police.
(this happened to me and PP last week-no gates, no warning signs found a picnic table and some council dude rocks up in his ute all angry at us)
^OH&S didn’t exist.

Sipping dads beer when asked to get it out the fridge.

Dogs ran free.

Pools didn’t have fences.

Pricking your finger to become blood brothers.
