My grandfather Robert Armstrong Boustridge great guy sadly didn’t get to spend much time with him as he passed when I was about seven but do remember getting manure from the rail way wagons near the Cobden bridge and pea sticks on the Kaiata straight also considerable success bobbing for crags

Should have said crayfish at the 12&14mile

Wow. Some great Brunner peple there. Tom Morgan was Madge Glen's brother and Jack Warren was married to my Mum's best friend May (plus he was the 'man on the gste' for league games at Taylorville domain. I was not aware of this initiative for the Thomas Brunner Memorial, which was a great spot to sunbath with a view of the lagoon (& watch out for Dobson dive board raiders coming across the river).

John White didn’t Jack also use to walk around the ground with a hat for people to put ha-pennies and thrupennces in!
