1964 Beverley Northam
Year 8. Class 1b at NSHS. At the hut I was in the dorm near the shower room.
I was "befriended" by Colin Wagbottom?? .... he took me out to a secluded place in the yard and I had to wank him off. One of his friends then came to me after lights out and I had to suck him off.
1962 Beverley
Dim memory of what must have been year 6 ..... I can remember the terror of not being allowed to stay in the classroom during recess and lunch .... of having to go out into the playground and then be vulnerable to the senior boys.
It must have been in this year that it was bullied as retaliation for Dad's work is traffic inspector. There were probably only a few sessions but they terrified me and for the rest of my school life at Beverly, I was in constant terror. I remember bullying sessions in the playground, in the toilet block .... I had to walk home and I was always scared that they would get me during the walk.
During this year and the next, I worked as a paper boy .... Up at 5am, meet at the shop, roll 130 papers, load them into a large bag that was then balanced on the cross bar of my bike. I then had to ride my round and throw the papers into the house yards as I rode past. I think I finished at around 7:30am. The pay was about 15 shillings ... $1.50! per week.

1957
Wundowie
Trip by road to Sydney in December. We travelled in a blue Morris Oxford sedan towing a wooden trailer that Dad had bought for the trip. It was set up as a sort of camper trailer. At night, Mum & Dad slept in the trailer and Peter, Maxine and I slept in the car .... which had been converted so that the front seat folded flat to make a bed.
We set out from Wundowie for the big trip .... but within 15 minutes the car went over a large rock in the road (Inkpen Road) and it put a hole in the sump of the engine! We turned back and had to wait at the garage in Wundowie while the sump was removed and the hole brazed .... this was probably my first experience of the wonders of metalwork! I can still recall my awe.

Donkey at the border
It must have been the second or third night .... we camped at the border .... there was a donkey .... it must have been used to people because it ate Mum's scarf!

That may have been when we moved from Bruce Rock to Cunderdin. Dad was to "share-farm" at a property about 15 kms south of the town.
