Buckshot Bear Posted January 14 Author Posted January 14 THE GOLDEN YEARS Bumped in to a young bloke just the other day, offered him my hand shake the good old fashioned way. To my surprise, he had a grip, our eyes locked wanting more, an instant conversation sprung, he quickly held the floor. He spun into his story, a millennial look at life, the ups and downs, good and bad with two kids and a wife. So much inspiration, a lot that couldn’t wait, my age was asked, I told him, three score years’n eight. The golden years was his reply, quickly gave his reasons, life was lived with what we had and worked around the seasons. Out of bed each morning, worked hard every day, thought it through, got it done or tried the other way. I joined the conversation, started slow but sure, explaining how I missed the cut and never went to war. I told him of the early days, freelite battery power, wages paid once a month, not by paid by the hour. Life was very simple, watched and taught the skills, everyone did everything and lived without the frills. No TV or laptops or mobile phones for talking, transportation was by horse and legs were made for walking. You say we had the golden years, well let me set you straight, life was rough, we did it tough, you never left your mate. You stuck it out and gave your all, followed your adoptions, junction met, left or right, failure not an option. We had to tackle life head on, we either swum or drowned, most things either won or lost, never lost and found. So let’s agree to disagree, I’ll give it to you straight, our years you say we’re golden, well that’s up for debate. Glen Hughes 2 1 Quote

Buckshot Bear Posted January 17 Author Posted January 17 Now, THAT'S Waltzing Matilda. During the Australian Tank Corps’ Bougainville campaign in the spring of 1945, the A12 Matilda, though regarded as hopelessly obsolete by European standards, proved highly effective. In the Pacific jungle environment it remained superior to any Japanese armored vehicle likely to oppose it, combining heavy armor with reliability and firepower well matched to the conditions of the campaign. 1 3 Quote
Buckshot Bear Posted January 17 Author Posted January 17 On This Day – January 17 - 1944 Meat rationing in Australia began in January 1944, with the introduction of meat coupons for adults. The ration allowed for an average of 2¼ lbs (just over 1 kg) of meat per week, depending on the cut. Children received half the adult ration. Meat rationing continued until 1946, with various classes of meat and cuts divided into six groups, each with a varying ration based on the cut and bone and fat content. Offal, such as brains, tripe, liver, and kidneys, was a significant part of the wartime diet due to its availability. The rationing system was part of a broader effort to manage shortages and control civilian consumption during World War II and send food to Britain and Europe. 1 Quote

Buckshot Bear Posted January 18 Author Posted January 18 SEX AFTER DEATH!! A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and ... inform the other if there is sex after death. Their biggest fear was that there was no after-life at all. After a long life together, the husband was the first to die. True to his word, he made the first contact: " Marion .... Marion... " "Is that you, Bob?" "Yes, I've come back like we agreed." "That's wonderful! What's it like?" "Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have breakfast and then it's off to the golf course. I have sex again, bathe in the warm sun and then have sex a couple of more times.. Then I have lunch (you'd be proud - lots of greens). Another romp around the golf course, then pretty much have sex the rest of the afternoon. After supper, it's back to the golf course again. Then it's more sex until late at night. I catch some much needed sleep and then the next day it starts all over again". "Oh, Bob! Are you in Heaven?" "No -- I'm a rabbit somewhere in Australia.” 2 5 Quote
Buckshot Bear Posted January 18 Author Posted January 18 ‘ROVER THOMAS’ - STOCKMAN & ARTIST 1926-1998 Kimberley Artworks. Rover Thomas was born in 1926 at Gunawaggi near Well 33 on the Canning Stock Route in the Great Sandy. He was of the Wangkajunga people on his father’s side, and Kukatja from his mother’s people. From an East Kimberley perspective, he belonged to the Joolama skin group. Rover Thomas grew up in his tribal culture, moving with his family to various pastoral stations. In his teens, he began work as a stockman in the Kimberley and the Northern Territory. In the 1940s while living at Billiluna Station in the south Kimberley he became initiated into traditional lore. Rover’s life a stockman allowed him to travel extensively. He worked just about everywhere in the Kimberley. He settled at Warmun in 1975 after work as a stockman dried up. Painting Style Rover Thomas did not start painting until his fifties after spending a lifetime as a stockman. Rover had an intense awareness of the land and a special affinity with pigments. Although he paints blocks of natural ochre color there are variations within the blocks of color. It is this subtle variation in pigment color along with the ochre colors themselves that give his works a very natural feel. By 1986 Rover Thomas work was being promoted by exhibitions held in Kununurra and in Broome. Despite this most of Rover Thomas works were sold at Turkey Creek to travelers. In 1990 he won the John McCaughey prize, which greatly increased his national and international prominence. In 1995 Rover and members of his extended family traveled with Kevin Kelly, the manager of Warringari Arts, back to his birthplace. This trip back to his birthplace on the Canning Stock Route inspired an impressive body of work. Rover Thomas died on April 11, 1998. He was posthumously awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Western Australia. Rover Thomas was a pioneer artist who was an inspiration to later artists like Queenie Mckenzie, Paddy Bedford and Eubena Nampitjin. 1 5 Quote
