I remember one afternoon we were waiting at the bus stop for our school bus.
The bus arrived, the driver’s name was
Frank. Someone threw an unlit fire cracker into the bus, which landed at Frank’s feet. He grabbed the crank handle from under his seat, jumped out of the bus, and waved it at us. Thereafter he had the nickname “ Crank Handle Frank”, which ultimately was shortened to
“Cranky Franky.” True story!!

and that is why fireworks are banned these days, because of clowns like that. We used to have great time on Empire Day(of which there is no more) and Guy Fawkes night.

Fort Street Boys High in Sydney. Finished early 70s

obviously a boy with brains

I lived in Callala Beach/Bay from 1990 to 2007 until I moved to Bundaberg, Queensland.

Wow Veg...talk about a travelling man. LOL I'm still in Blundaberg over 30 years since arrival.
There doesn't appear to be anyone in here who went to RIVERSIDE GIRL'S DOMESTIC HOME SCIENCE while Gladesville Bridge (new) was being built. I left at the end of 1957 and co-ed high schools came into being the following year. I grew up in Ryde NSW.

I spent a lot of years in Ryde. West Ryde, Top Ryde and played squash for Riverview Squash Club (Gladesville). which later became self-storage facility.

My brother lived at North Ryde for many years. I liked the area.

I lived in Myra Avenue off Lane Cove Road. Began school at Ryde then went to Putney Primary. My father put much of Ryde/Gladesville on the sewer. Much of North Ryde used to be Chinese cultivated market gardens before the golf club took over.
