Portable Kerosene Lamps
Who remembers using the portable kero lamp? When I started my working life as a jackaroo in the 50s, my working day would often start long before sunrise. I would have to milk the house cow each morning by the light of one of these lamps. I had finally mastered the technique of milking a cow, and things were going great, until one morning the old cow got a bit cranky, kicked the leg rope off, and literally kicked the bucket.
The boss’s wife wasn’t too happy when I returned to the house with an empty milk bucket!
