Bruce & Annne,
Freweena used to have a sign inside the bar, this is back in mid-60's, that said "In case of fire, lift flap".
Well, I wasn't gullible(at that time) to do this, so was delighted when some time later, a tourist came in and did this.
Under the flap was written: "Not now, Stupid, in case of fire" The sign was in a position where everyone could see if you made a fool of yourself.
Another time we were camped about 20 clicks north @ No.7
Bore. I was included in a foray, with 3 or 4 other blokes, onto
Alroy downs to attempt to bring back a bull who had jumped the fence. We found the bull, who proved to in a mood that wasn't too congenial, and he was left there. One bloke, Mick
Hay, got off on foot with a hobble chain, to intice the angry gent to vacant his position, but after a roll in the sand, we left the bull, and went across to Freweena, only a few K's away.
Spent an hour or so there, and came away loaded with chocolates, lollies and some beautiful Granny Smith apples. Tied up the sleeves in a cardigan, to cart all this loot back to
camp. S'pose we tied the horses out the back of the roadhouse, don't really remember that part.
Bloody hell, I was only 18 then.
hooroo...
