Dear Anne, that video is a real mess. It’s all over the road (as rough lads used to say in South Grafton) like a mad woman’s sh–. More politely, I might say that it has neither head nor tail. It’s just a pile of scraps stuck together with dull glue. A homosexual mate of John W and me in Sydney liked to talk of “a pile of clichés tied together with pink ribbons”. There’s neither continuity nor harmony. The video jumps from one thing to another. Where on Earth did you find it ? Did you make that video from scratch ?

In reply to Jennifer. Yes, a good point. I explain it as the "poor cousin" of the main north side of town, when I was growing up.

You have to be from the area to understand the distinction of having lived in “South” Grafton.

An easy read and kick starts so many memories for me … As children my friends and I spent a lot of time tree climbing. Right there in our backyard there were two trees in particular that just cried out to be climbed; a huge old mulberry tree right at the back fence and a coral tree also near the back of the block.

“Thanks for the memories.”
Ian.
