    Home made bows and arrows, wandering around tidal mudflats, getting stuck up trees, falling out of trees, chasing fireworks on bonfire night, no mention of nanny......

    Swings had wooden seats in my day.
    Using a vehicles bonnet as a sled towed behind another vehicle in the paddock.

    Remember swinging so high, you pulled the leg of the swing frame out of the ground, just to scare the crap out of your mates sister

    I grew up surrounded by orchards - I'd be gone with my mates miles from home - so much of that video rings true...

    I'm glad I never grew up in tbe era of smartphones. I'd never get away with a lot of the stuff we did as kids with everything being posted on Facebook, Instagram etc 😆

    I got some great cap guns for my kids and nephews from this site.

    Cap Guns Australia

    Got some great Winchester lever actions which I can't see right now - slightly different to what they have now. Even better than most I had as a kid.

    I just wish I still had the SLR cap gun I has as a kid. Loved it. So did every kid in our country town.

    More recently bought a few of the gel firing guns from here. https://www.armouredheaven.com.au

    Seriously good fun. A few Dads I know have even bought a few after seeing ours.
