Me (little big one) and big brother Geoff and Grandma Hilda: how much do we love Hilda's dress and the abundance of 'mission brown' paint? No-one mention my thighs.
My first birthday (July 77): loving the from behind pigtails on cousin 'Hullun'.
On holidays at Urunga: favourite terry towelling shorts and short hair. Checkout my mum's jumpsuit in teal....
First day of school: Narranga Primary in Coffs Harbour. On Fridays we had a special 'Narranga Sandwich' day at the tuckshop. It involved a banana (being Coffs Harbour) in brown bread, to MATCH OUR SCHOOL UNIFORM!!! I loved that port but especially that groovy sticker from a surfboard designer... i wonder if it is in the roof back at home...?
Play along and dig out some treasures.

Oh my goodness - how cool is Grandma Hilda's dress! I love it.
I had those shorts. In lots of colors, if I recall correctly...
What a brilliant blast from the past!! Yes, Grandma's dress is seriously 'groovy' and that mission brown, ahhh, brings back memories. I adore your Birthday party, how cute are the party hats. They don't make them like that anymore do they!! Beautiful Urunga with your cool Mum (she could have then gone out nightclubbing in that jumpsuit). Love the idea of the 'Narranga Sandwich'. That was quite progressive wasn't it. Brown bread? I still remember the packaging of the first lots of brown bread in brown plastic... Nice!! Do you know that they're now growing blueberries in that part of the world? Pruxxx
P.S. Thanks for the details about your beautiful Bernie. You (and he) are so lucky that he didn't come out naturally with that knot in his cord. Far out. Isn't your body amazing. It must have known. Thank goodness all those 'wives tales' didn't work (the curries etc.). He's a great size, nice and healthy and easy to carry. Enjoy him! Take care over the Christmas break. Look forward to catching-up with you and the boys in the New Year. Kindest (as always) Pruxxx
love these photos - must have missed this over at curly pops. I would've loved to join in!! Hope you are having a great xmas

LOL....Having grown up in the 70's myself a LOT of your pics could EASILY have been mine....hahahahaha....It's hard to believe when you see all the 'poo' / mission brown that the 70's from a design point of view, was actually a pretty cool decade....GO FIGURE....!
Cheers from 'that 70's kid',
Tamarah :o)
