    Early settlers homes, & bush huts in Australia

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    My maternal grandparents and several of their younger children were living in a bark hut with an earth floor in what is now suburban Sydney in the 1920s. My grandfather died at the age of 98 in 1954. Not all died young! Many children died, but not primarily as a result of the standard of their housing, but mostly from infectious diseases that only slowly became rare, starting around 1900, from improvements in knowledge about disease that led to safer water supplies, improved sanitation, and perhaps most importantly, vaccination.

    SWMBO family is from the Mendooran,Dunedoo area in NSW. Her grandmother has shown my pictures of the bush huts and slab homes from around that area and told me some wonderful stories of her family and other settlers from the area. Very tough people indeed.
