    When I was working in western Queensland fifty years ago, we brought a local hire to Brisbane with us - he'd never been east of Barcaldine. I clearly remember him looking over the side of the Victoria Bridge " Does it stop flowing in the dry season?"

    Dad's Dutch cousin on a road trip from Newcastle to Brisbane for expo '88.
    Around Coffs Harbour he says "Are we still in Australia?".
    Back home if he'd spent 5 hours in the car, he'd be behind the iron curtain.

    One of our boys was about 4 when he first saw the ocean when we had lunch at Cardwell.

    His comment, "Wow! Big River."

    my lad, after we had bought a couple of lounge chairs and much celebrated poufs, on moving into the house we just bought, wandered out from his room and saw me sitting on the back stairs having a smoke and said "common on dad, don't sit there like a poofter"

    A particular baby ( ) in a crib used to endlessly recite 'doll doll der ben doll doll' and his parents couldn't figure it out.

    Shouldn't take you erudite people long to figure out what it was in 58 / 59.

    A mate of mine came home from work. His wife was in the shower and their 3yo daughter wandered into the bathroom and started mega shrieking.

    He raced in to find the 3yo in a corner, pointing a finger and yelling out 'hairy spider, hairy spider!!!!!!'.

    cheers, DL

    Small girl walks into the bathroom while Dad was having a shower.
    After appologising she returned to the kitchen to ask Mum "Why does Daddy have a handle on his botty?"

    I would like to know the answer to the question as well?
    Cheers, Billy.
