[16:14] Speaker 3: had come down to see his mom and mama be
[16:16] Speaker 3: there and he'd bring his girlfriend. Well, Grandma could not
[16:19] Speaker 3: stand the girlfriend. Yes, because she gave us some sheets
[16:22] Speaker 3: once as a present and said, oh when you died,
[16:25] Speaker 3: like these back because I paid a lot of money
[16:26] Speaker 3: for them. And Grandma said, well, don't wait till I die.
[16:29] Speaker 3: Take them with you now.

[17:20] Speaker 3: Twist and shout. She was just seventeen and.
[17:27] Speaker 2: She was only said she was only.
[17:29] Speaker 1: She was just seventy, which is I saw her standing there.
[17:33] Speaker 4: Tell him the story about the rocks what not.
[17:36] Speaker 3: We went to the races and were at the rocks.
[17:39] Speaker 3: So when we went back to the Fortunes of Wars,
[17:43] Speaker 3: they had this band playing all Beatles songs. So I
[17:46] Speaker 3: got up with them. So the band, I didn't know
[17:49] Speaker 3: if I was like a guest artist. Security didn't know
[17:52] Speaker 3: who in the hell I was, So I just I
[17:55] Speaker 3: sung about four songs. I kept saying, Oh, do you
[17:57] Speaker 3: know this yet?
[17:58] Speaker 4: Yep.
[18:01] Speaker 3: So then when we come and sat down, when I
[18:03] Speaker 3: sat down and go went, I think we're in a
[18:05] Speaker 3: bit of trouble. This bloke over he's staring at me
[18:07] Speaker 3: all the time any how, Oh not, I just don't
[18:11] Speaker 3: look at him. He said, no, just keep staring. So
[18:13] Speaker 3: the next thing he come around, anyhow, he had the
[18:16] Speaker 3: worst stammer I've ever heard. So he's trying, he's saying,
[18:20] Speaker 3: I know you, but he took him ten minutes to
[18:22] Speaker 3: say it. And then I said, well, if we tell
[18:24] Speaker 3: you who we are, will you leave us alone? And
[18:26] Speaker 3: he said yeah. So I said, oh, you know Matt
[18:29] Speaker 3: and Andrew John's where their parents let me buy your
[18:32] Speaker 3: drink and how it's about thirty bucks for a shout.
[18:36] Speaker 3: I said, okay. So then the far maid said, I've
[18:39] Speaker 3: told you no more drink for you get out, and
[18:42] Speaker 3: I said, oh, can you just buy us a drink
[18:44] Speaker 3: before he goes No, he's going straight out. So he
[18:46] Speaker 3: stood at the doorwave until us the rest of the night.
[18:49] Speaker 4: Oh god, geez, I tell you it was there that night.
[18:51] Speaker 4: Was Kerry Hemsley, Oh buckets, Yeah, Kerry Hemsley an old
[18:55] Speaker 4: front role for the used to be a biking as well.
[18:59] Speaker 4: One of the right fellers.
[19:02] Speaker 3: Well they used to come up to Marcaus Sylvesters.
[19:05] Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right he was.
[19:06] Speaker 3: Now.
[19:06] Speaker 1: Next question, when we first got a caravan, what why
[19:12] Speaker 1: did we go to Middle Rock Caravan Park of course,
[19:17] Speaker 1: which was a nudist beach. What was the thinking there?
[19:20] Speaker 4: We couldn't get anywhere.
[19:22] Speaker 3: Else, any place we could get on.
[19:24] Speaker 4: The council that only released so many every year, so
[19:28] Speaker 4: many parks because they've got this rule that they've got
[19:31] Speaker 4: to have provisions for boogle to travel yep. So so
[19:36] Speaker 4: that's that bottle have been tempted to so out of
[19:38] Speaker 4: the capacity of the park so we could get on
[19:41] Speaker 4: at finger which where we wanted to go. So we
[19:43] Speaker 4: had two years one ball.
[19:45] Speaker 2: So do you have to with caravan do you have
[19:47] Speaker 2: to like buy a spot for two years?
[19:50] Speaker 4: You play weekly, rent.
[19:51] Speaker 2: Your rented everywhere? So that one because you eventually went
[19:54] Speaker 2: to Finger Bay Caravan Park. But the Middle Roight one,
[19:58] Speaker 2: what was that complete nudist beach?
[20:00] Speaker 4: It was a nudist boach.
[20:01] Speaker 2: And did you do you guys buy into that culture?
[20:04] Speaker 3: No?
[20:06] Speaker 4: I remember Blake Service in his car one day that
[20:08] Speaker 4: he had the closed on you loading over the mudguard
[20:10] Speaker 4: that all you could see was us.
[20:14] Speaker 1: But I remember the first a gaz puts the cart,
[20:18] Speaker 1: he's put the caravan. We've part of the caravan, got
[20:20] Speaker 1: the n X up right. At this point, I, me
[20:23] Speaker 1: and Joey had no idea that was a nodistpech. He goes, right, boys,
[20:26] Speaker 1: what direct is going to have a swim? Well, it
[20:28] Speaker 1: was about five hundred meters over the scene dunes to
[20:31] Speaker 1: get there, and we finally get over the last sandurn.
[20:33] Speaker 1: I look over and I'm going, fucking hell, it's like
[20:37] Speaker 1: National Geographic. It's just tits and us and different balls everything.
[20:41] Speaker 3: Are you?
[20:42] Speaker 2: How are you there?
[20:43] Speaker 1: About nine nine? I remember like the SCROTUMSLA had fucking
[20:48] Speaker 1: balls under their knees.
[20:50] Speaker 3: Andrew has been scarred because there was a blake worming
[20:54] Speaker 3: and he was and he had the belt on round
[20:56] Speaker 3: that's all he had on.
[20:57] Speaker 1: Yeah, because you're think of a nudist peach, you think
[20:59] Speaker 1: of like, you know, young super bottles and get So.
[21:02] Speaker 4: What about when we was verst the caravan, we put
[21:05] Speaker 4: it in the yard. I put the adexe up, working
[21:08] Speaker 4: out what furniture we wanted in the beds for the
[21:09] Speaker 4: boys and all that sort of stuff. Where we're going
[21:11] Speaker 4: to put the skin. We ha no fridges and us.
[21:15] Speaker 4: So this particular day, I said, where's the boys? I said,
[21:18] Speaker 4: I don't know. She said, go and get them. Lunch
[21:22] Speaker 4: is ready. So I went out the yard to give
[21:24] Speaker 4: a whistle. No one there. Where the hell are they? Back?
[21:27] Speaker 4: Cat shut? I went down like an ear report in
[21:31] Speaker 4: the cariban. When I walked in, there sitting at the
[21:33] Speaker 4: table with a twist top or stubby and beer roote,
[21:37] Speaker 4: I said, what the hell you like? And I said,
[21:39] Speaker 4: we're practicing god on, hold hold us? How old nine
[21:45] Speaker 4: the seven?
[21:48] Speaker 2: Isn't there a story? Isn't there a story? Because you
[21:50] Speaker 2: gotta hate the caravan story stories. Isn't there a yarn
[21:54] Speaker 2: where one of the caravan neighbors had a kayak or something?
[22:00] Speaker 4: Yeah, a cano.
[22:01] Speaker 1: I must have told that on Triple M. I reckon
[22:04] Speaker 1: three or four times every year on our show with
[22:07] Speaker 1: the audience, and that breaks on ofud. Hey, Maddie tell
[22:10] Speaker 1: us the the kayak story.
[22:12] Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, So this blake was an old bricket. He
[22:15] Speaker 4: was he was he ruine our barstard. All the kids
[22:18] Speaker 4: who be playing cricket they'd hit the tennis ball up
[22:21] Speaker 4: against his caravan and he come out and take the
[22:23] Speaker 4: ball off them. Or they'd be playing football and the
[22:25] Speaker 4: ball would roll up and he and he take the
[22:27] Speaker 4: ball off them. Anywhy that? And he blues with him.
[22:29] Speaker 4: So Matthew wanted to go the toilet, so he went out.

[23:03] Speaker 1: For under the get up in the middle of the
[23:06] Speaker 1: night going up to the toilet, which is one hundred meters,
[23:08] Speaker 1: so I just do a ship under it.
[23:09] Speaker 4: I remember.
[23:10] Speaker 2: I remember the old you had to because it was
[23:12] Speaker 2: one of those caravan parks. You had to whack the
[23:14] Speaker 2: thongs on. You get a towel and you go and
[23:15] Speaker 2: have the shower and the toilet's up at the actual block.
[23:17] Speaker 2: All together because I remember when when Jack and I
[23:20] Speaker 2: were young and we'd always go up to Finger Bay
[23:22] Speaker 2: caravan Park. You know, we'd be having shower. It was
[23:25] Speaker 2: like my first exposed to a locker room because there'd
[23:28] Speaker 2: just be a bunch of old blokes in there and
[23:30] Speaker 2: you're just shower next to them in your thong to
[23:32] Speaker 2: save yourself from tinier.
[23:33] Speaker 1: Yep, that's right.
[23:34] Speaker 4: So what about what about the year we look at
[23:36] Speaker 4: after the boys Matt and Joe and the girls went
[23:39] Speaker 4: the boxing day races at Newcastle. We had all the
[23:42] Speaker 4: boys there, so Samuel was the only little fella.
[23:45] Speaker 2: Yeah, Joey son, your age.
[23:48] Speaker 4: And is We're playing up at the laundry block. Girls
[23:52] Speaker 4: up there doing some washing and they run in one
[23:55] Speaker 4: door and out there they're running around. All the kids
[23:57] Speaker 4: were there playing and Samuel goes missing. We couldn't find
[24:01] Speaker 4: him anyway. He'd gone about an hour. So I was
[24:04] Speaker 4: absolutely but was off our heads. We didn't couldn't find him,
[24:08] Speaker 4: didn't know what was going on over there. Put an
[24:11] Speaker 4: announcement over the bike at the caravan park. But little
[24:15] Speaker 4: boys being lost, you know. So anyway, a cousin of
[24:19] Speaker 4: mine founder found him and he got into an annex
[24:22] Speaker 4: followed one of the kids and going into an anix.
[24:25] Speaker 4: So we went up. They told us where it was,
[24:27] Speaker 4: so we went up and got him. You come with me,
[24:31] Speaker 4: and as we're coming down the road, you're walking behind him,
[24:34] Speaker 4: pushing him in the back saying you ain't getting the
[24:37] Speaker 4: fucking lunch nawny boy. Yeah, the age as him that
[24:44] Speaker 4: it was Boxing day, so everyone in the street was
[24:46] Speaker 4: out at the barbecue having a beer inside the addix,
[24:50] Speaker 4: and you swear poor old Samuel pushing him out in
[24:54] Speaker 4: the back of the head and say, you're a fucking
[24:56] Speaker 4: anawning boy.
[24:59] Speaker 2: Something's ever change?
[25:01] Speaker 1: He used to be, used to be some characters.
[25:03] Speaker 4: Yeah, what about the day joe he got out of
[25:06] Speaker 4: bed the ship under the tree that.
[25:08] Speaker 2: Was matt again.
[25:10] Speaker 4: Yeah, the tree kicked a bit of sand over poor
[25:14] Speaker 4: old Shane Furnes across the road. Next day he's climbed
[25:17] Speaker 4: up the tree. When he jumped out, he jumps straight
[25:18] Speaker 4: into the ships, got it all through his toes and.
[25:24] Speaker 2: Oh my, when you look back on uh, you know
[25:28] Speaker 2: you had obviously Kate as well. But I imagine Matthew
[25:30] Speaker 2: and Joey would have been the two hardest work or
[25:33] Speaker 2: naughtiest who would have been the hardest to race out
[25:35] Speaker 2: of those two. Joe Joey was Oh.
[25:38] Speaker 3: He was very big headed, Yeah, and he like it.
[25:42] Speaker 3: Couldn't handle discipline if anyone tried to discipline, and he
[25:46] Speaker 3: hated them and teachers, coaches, football coaches anyway.
[25:50] Speaker 4: But he wasn't frightened of anything. He dow anything, wouldn't
[25:53] Speaker 4: he Yeah, would do anything. It was about a ten
[25:56] Speaker 4: foot surfety one day and all the other guys are
[25:59] Speaker 4: out in the world having the time of the life.
[26:01] Speaker 4: I had Kate and i'd take him for a walk.
[26:04] Speaker 4: I walked up the headly and have a look, and
[26:06] Speaker 4: he's Joel. He was about eight, nine year old. He
[26:09] Speaker 4: wouldn't have been that on that green board.
[26:11] Speaker 3: He wouldn't have been what even younger, about seven.
[26:14] Speaker 4: He's out the surf. So this old guy was there,
[26:17] Speaker 4: and I knew he must excuse me. Would you take
[26:20] Speaker 4: Cake back to the caravan garlice? So I'm going to
[26:22] Speaker 4: go out My young black's out in the water, go
[26:24] Speaker 4: and get him. So I swam all the way out
[26:25] Speaker 4: here's through the waves, got out of their exhausted and
[26:29] Speaker 4: he said, Dave, what are you doing out here? I said,
[26:33] Speaker 4: you know, on the beach. What are you doing out here?
[26:37] Speaker 2: So what was was matthew a lot easier then in
[26:40] Speaker 2: that sense, like to raise.
[26:43] Speaker 4: He's a sleep all day. So we had no trouble.
[26:45] Speaker 2: Really, we were a big sleeper back then.
[26:47] Speaker 3: Well, Matt loved the cricket too, and that was on
[26:49] Speaker 3: in the holidays and he didn't like the surf because
[26:52] Speaker 3: he used to get chafed. So he go down and
[26:55] Speaker 3: he didn't want to get too dark, so he go
[26:57] Speaker 3: down the beach, have a swim, go back up, watch cricket.
[27:00] Speaker 4: Yeah, we have thirty eight years we had there at
[27:02] Speaker 4: the park.
[27:03] Speaker 2: And who when we talk about, you know, being scale
[27:07] Speaker 2: young scully wags when they get into their teens, who
[27:10] Speaker 2: was who was getting into more trouble than in the
[27:12] Speaker 2: teenager years, Like in terms of going out and drinking.
[27:16] Speaker 3: Now, the boys didn't really get into trouble or go
[27:19] Speaker 3: out drinking at that stage because they were both trying
[27:21] Speaker 3: out for football, so they used to train on a Sunday,
[27:26] Speaker 3: so training through the work hardly ever went out.
[27:29] Speaker 4: What about the night you got running by the coppers
[27:33] Speaker 4: coming after the working club, Yeah, the park with a baton, Yeah, yeah, yes,
[27:39] Speaker 4: he was having a piss in this all? Mill?

[27:58] Speaker 1: pub to a piss anyway. Hit bellow me with a
[28:01] Speaker 1: baton and then took me the police station fingerprint of
[28:04] Speaker 1: me and went court.
[28:07] Speaker 2: What was that was that?
[28:08] Speaker 1: Why?
[28:09] Speaker 2: Surely incessant? There's enough flads urinating in public.
[28:11] Speaker 3: That's something decent exposure?
[28:14] Speaker 4: It was? It was this couple was no good. I
[28:16] Speaker 4: knew where he drags. One afternoon, I knew it was
[28:19] Speaker 4: a work and I went around under chatty. Yeah totally.

[32:41] Speaker 4: We're playing cards, and I think I drank forward in
[32:43] Speaker 4: large bottles, but I was pretty pissed. I went to
[32:47] Speaker 4: sleep on the bed. Used to.
[32:52] Speaker 3: You.
[32:53] Speaker 4: Yeah, anyway, I woke up and I went, oh my god,

[32:59] Speaker 4: twice in one night. The next day dragged pulled all
[33:06] Speaker 4: the shirts off of water with all the dinner, dragged

[33:11] Speaker 4: I'm putting it out the drawing, will never sleep with it.
[33:14] Speaker 4: So everyone was coming past as kids went to bed guard.
[33:17] Speaker 4: Now Gary did.
[33:20] Speaker 1: With with mining up there, coops and Jack. There was
[33:24] Speaker 1: just an enormous drinking culture. And you know we went
[33:28] Speaker 1: sort of through the family by Hervey, uncle uncle Hervey, hurting.
[33:33] Speaker 4: The peers and herby Pearce and waded legs.
[33:35] Speaker 1: You know.
[33:37] Speaker 4: One one one day they used to drink. They used
[33:39] Speaker 4: to go to Foster. All the miners and says stock
[33:42] Speaker 4: Curry ever mine Western. They'd all going to Foster holidays.
[33:46] Speaker 4: So the culture was two o'clock they'd head down the pub.
[33:49] Speaker 4: They'd all come home forty seven. So they had five
[33:52] Speaker 4: hours of solid drinking. I'm talking about drinking six half
[33:55] Speaker 4: of doz of skewters an hour, you know, which is a.
[33:59] Speaker 1: One day.
[33:59] Speaker 2: Herb be drunk fifty four schooners went.
[34:02] Speaker 4: He went down there at two o'clock, and there was
[34:04] Speaker 4: a dance on that night, so I forgured his wife's name. Anyway,
[34:11] Speaker 4: said all the other boys left about five because they
[34:15] Speaker 4: were come back to dance. And Herbie said, now I'll say,
[34:18] Speaker 4: just at such and such as wife, get dressed and
[34:20] Speaker 4: come down, we'll go to the dance. So behind the bar,
[34:24] Speaker 4: the barman every day used to mark every schooner Herbie had.
[34:28] Speaker 4: He had fifty four for the day.
[34:30] Speaker 2: And then went to the dance, to the dance. And
[34:32] Speaker 2: now did he danced imas you would have been hard
[34:34] Speaker 2: to hold up.
[34:35] Speaker 3: Probably didn't dance you get hold his rock.
[34:38] Speaker 4: Honestly, you wouldn't have to think.
[34:39] Speaker 2: Out the drink, because isn't there a story of how
[34:43] Speaker 2: he drank the like a couple of blokes in it.
[34:45] Speaker 2: Because he was renowned for how many schooners you could
[34:47] Speaker 2: drink up and that way.
[34:48] Speaker 4: The bloke put a challenge up to him. He was
[34:50] Speaker 4: a timber cutter from a career and he heard about
[34:55] Speaker 4: Herbie's reputation as a drinker. So he come up there
[34:58] Speaker 4: to Foster waited for her. If you come in, and
[35:00] Speaker 4: he said, I've got a challenge for you. Might I
[35:02] Speaker 4: heard you can drink, you know? He said, I bet
[35:04] Speaker 4: you can't drink ten schooners in an hour. Herbie said, well,
[35:08] Speaker 4: I'm not going to try an aw because I'll go
[35:10] Speaker 4: in here all day. He said, but I'll I'll come
[35:12] Speaker 4: back tomorrow. You be tomorrow will try it. So the
[35:15] Speaker 4: boys used to go out too, So Herbie left the
[35:18] Speaker 4: ten utmast olve and hiss cover past there. He said that, man,
[35:23] Speaker 4: I'm going a bit early today, he says, so, oh jeez,
[35:25] Speaker 4: I'm not going early, he said. Now I've got a
[35:28] Speaker 4: couple of things to do. So setting out the hour
[35:30] Speaker 4: sil he went to the pub.
[35:33] Speaker 1: So he drank.
[35:34] Speaker 4: He drank the ten schooners of an hour, just to
[35:36] Speaker 4: test himself. And he went up and he said, right,
[35:39] Speaker 4: I said the blake right, I'll take the.
[35:40] Speaker 2: Challenge, and then it knocked it out.
[35:43] Speaker 4: The next hour he done another ten.
[35:46] Speaker 1: So he went to the pub first, all just to
[35:47] Speaker 1: see if you can do it.
[35:50] Speaker 2: Yeah, what an unbelievable What's what's the most? Because girl
[35:53] Speaker 2: used to poor schooners at the pub as well. Right,
[35:55] Speaker 2: did you ever have to pall schooners four guys?
[35:58] Speaker 4: Yeah?
[35:58] Speaker 2: He come in and were you giving him free schooners?
[36:00] Speaker 3: No?
[36:01] Speaker 2: No, you're always challenging him. What's the most amount of
[36:03] Speaker 2: schooners you reckon? You ever had at a pub?
[36:08] Speaker 4: When I turned twenty one, I had twenty one schooners?
[36:11] Speaker 4: Oh well, I hardly ever used to drink that. I
[36:13] Speaker 4: was a mess. I was a mess when you drink
[36:17] Speaker 4: that that particular day.
[36:18] Speaker 3: Yeah, and he actually borrowed someone's motibike, new motibike and
[36:23] Speaker 3: fell off it fell onto a car.
[36:27] Speaker 2: Because you were renowned as well. I remember all the
[36:29] Speaker 2: stories that Dad would tell us growing up, and you
[36:31] Speaker 2: would tell us from time to time about you were.
[36:35] Speaker 2: You were a local enforcer around town up in c I.
[36:38] Speaker 4: Don't know about that. A couple of times there was
[36:41] Speaker 4: a lot of a lot of blokes that wouldn't show
[36:43] Speaker 4: to respect to the older people.
[36:44] Speaker 2: I remember when we when we had lunch up there
[36:47] Speaker 2: with Bog, one of my friends. When we went up
[36:49] Speaker 2: with the Hunt of Valley with your mate Sternie, it
[36:51] Speaker 2: looked after us up the Hunt of Valley with the
[36:52] Speaker 2: bus charter. You were telling him a story about how
[36:55] Speaker 2: your old trick was if somebody was disrespectful, you'd go
[36:58] Speaker 2: and wait in the toilets, and not in like a
[37:00] Speaker 2: romantic way. You'd go in there and then when they come,
[37:03] Speaker 2: that's where you give him a bit of a bit
[37:05] Speaker 2: of a stern talking to that right.
[37:07] Speaker 4: Well, it happened once at Pruden's. I had a good
[37:10] Speaker 4: arm mate, Tidler Milligan, and I used to work in
[37:12] Speaker 4: the mines for him. He always wore a pork boy
[37:15] Speaker 4: hat felt poor. They aws dressed them backly, never ever
[37:18] Speaker 4: got married and lived on his own. Anyway, this bloke
[37:22] Speaker 4: kept knocking his hand off, this young bloke, pick it up,
[37:26] Speaker 4: give him back to Tidler, and I said, mate, cut
[37:28] Speaker 4: it out, leave him blame. And he kept doing it
[37:31] Speaker 4: so so so I'll fix you. So I went out
[37:34] Speaker 4: the toilet. I knew he'd have to have blurk shortly.
[37:37] Speaker 4: So I just went and sat on the pen and
[37:38] Speaker 4: left the door open a little bit wait for him
[37:40] Speaker 4: to come in. And then he comes.
[37:43] Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, when said because the bloke. The bloke ended

[41:56] Speaker 1: sycamore trees, jumping on the bus and trying to kick
[41:59] Speaker 1: their way in. The whole city was in this frenzy.
[42:02] Speaker 3: Was even driving back. You know, we just couldn't believe

[47:31] Speaker 4: I think he died drug overdose. I think anyway, he's
[47:35] Speaker 4: causing trouble up in the in the in the in
[47:38] Speaker 4: the club after the game, So all the parents and
[47:42] Speaker 4: girlfriend and mates, and that used to see it at
[47:44] Speaker 4: the back of the bar. The players had come out
[47:46] Speaker 4: of the shed with it all over, drink together before
[47:48] Speaker 4: we went home. So this particular blake is kicked out
[47:51] Speaker 4: because he's playing up, so he comes down. He decides
[47:54] Speaker 4: to cause a bit of trouble. So it's zero Australia,
[47:58] Speaker 4: little boo. He starts say, mate, he said, your two
[48:02] Speaker 4: boys saw rooting each other and all this sort of
[48:04] Speaker 4: stuff and called them names and girls and all that
[48:07] Speaker 4: sort of stuff. And I said, I've had enough of this,
[48:10] Speaker 4: so I've got in by the throat and I read
[48:12] Speaker 4: him up against the brick wall, and I'm trying to
[48:15] Speaker 4: punch you, but riving McCormack's got out of you by
[48:17] Speaker 4: the expert that threshes flew in your mum, she got

[48:37] Speaker 2: different way. Did you did you guys get electrician initially?

[48:45] Speaker 2: get quite fiery aggressive.
[48:46] Speaker 4: The time she blew up with me one night, called
[48:49] Speaker 4: me a lot of educated idiot, which of course is true,
[48:57] Speaker 4: educated idiot.
[48:59] Speaker 1: The first time.
[49:00] Speaker 4: It's a bit of a fairly jack. Actually, the first
[49:02] Speaker 4: time I brought trisho.

[49:17] Speaker 1: Joey stay over that time time. So NaN's out, Mom
[49:24] Speaker 1: and Dad and Nan and Joey and Kate. Kate was
[49:28] Speaker 1: like me and Kate were always really really tight.
[49:30] Speaker 3: He used to go and get the cuddle every morning.
[49:32] Speaker 2: Because Kate's quite quite younger, she's ten years young.

[50:05] Speaker 3: Matt port her home because Peaky left her out and
[50:08] Speaker 3: I went, all right, yeah, and so I just thought

[50:28] Speaker 3: And they had double bunks.
[50:32] Speaker 2: He's on the top bunk.
[50:33] Speaker 1: Okay, just quick. Some of the blokes over the years,
[50:38] Speaker 1: right some of it. Because one of the things I
[50:39] Speaker 1: do remember as a kid is like new blokes all
[50:42] Speaker 1: playing practical jokes on each other. And there was a
[50:44] Speaker 1: bloke I think you just passed gray paint ye because
[50:48] Speaker 1: I remember you tell.
[50:50] Speaker 3: Them about night. We had everyone around and next in
[50:53] Speaker 3: the fireber came smash the door, smashed the door in,
[50:57] Speaker 3: and they were going to find us because they said
[51:00] Speaker 3: they could have been could have been a fire and
[51:02] Speaker 3: they're at our place and someone had rung and said
[51:05] Speaker 3: there was a fire at our place. And then all
[51:07] Speaker 3: the boys said it was painy, so gaz rips into
[51:10] Speaker 3: paining and then he left. But we never turned out.
[51:15] Speaker 3: They didn't find us but we had to get a
[51:18] Speaker 3: new door.
[51:18] Speaker 1: For There was just always shenanigans. Yeah, up with the
[51:22] Speaker 1: caravan part at home. As you said, there was always
[51:25] Speaker 1: like you know, always players like you know, we're Dad coaching.
[51:28] Speaker 1: There was just always blokes around like Panda Barry Andrews
[51:32] Speaker 1: For people that don't know, he was a legend at Cronulla.
[51:35] Speaker 1: Then he you at the Roosters and then broke his
[51:38] Speaker 1: arm and just went, you know, and decided to come
[51:40] Speaker 1: to set up and play ragular League and Dad coached him.
[51:42] Speaker 1: But he and Dad were best mates. So Panda just
[51:45] Speaker 1: get blind and then turn up at harm. I remember
[51:48] Speaker 1: that time one of the boys, one of the centers, Pender, said, mate,
[51:53] Speaker 1: what do you keep fucking dropping the ball? When I
[51:55] Speaker 1: kept firing because a gun player? And the Santa goes, mate,

[52:06] Speaker 1: gets me and Joey and it's right in front.
[52:08] Speaker 3: Of like right out of bed. He got him out
[52:10] Speaker 3: of bed and stood him in front of this glass
[52:12] Speaker 3: door and thrown balls at him.

[52:27] Speaker 1: those two little idiots they can catch.
[52:32] Speaker 3: Who was the How the bloke used to come around
[52:33] Speaker 3: play the boys Nintendo all the time?
[52:36] Speaker 1: Terry Great, Terry Reagan.
[52:39] Speaker 4: You ever heard Terry Reagan sty No, I haven't went.
[52:41] Speaker 4: He went. He left us in eighty two, went to
[52:46] Speaker 4: the Roosters first, and.
[52:47] Speaker 1: He went Roosters, and he went Balmint Tigers, and then
[52:50] Speaker 1: finished at the Candle played in the eighty seven Grand
[52:52] Speaker 1: Final against But mate, you don't at those clubs. Everyone's
[52:56] Speaker 1: got Terry Reagan's stories. He was fucking crazy, so they
[53:00] Speaker 1: there was once Laurie Daily loves to tell this story.
[53:02] Speaker 1: He said, rego, we train on a Friday night. If
[53:06] Speaker 1: we're playing on the Sunday, which is just about always,
[53:08] Speaker 1: he said, rego go to the pub. And he'd have
[53:11] Speaker 1: about fourteen schooners and hop in his car and drive home.
[53:15] Speaker 1: So he said, mate. And he had a lawnmown business,
[53:18] Speaker 1: so he said, mate, this particular night I've trained, go on,
[53:21] Speaker 1: slam slamm the schooners and and he's dry driving home
[53:25] Speaker 1: and all of a sudden there's an RB two just

[53:28] Speaker 1: he pulls, He pulls the his car over the side
[53:32] Speaker 1: of the road, pulls that, pulls out the mower and
[53:34] Speaker 1: the whippersip and everything. Anyway, he just starts mowing some
[53:36] Speaker 1: bloke's lawn out the front right. This bloke comes out
[53:39] Speaker 1: and goes, mate, what are you doing? And he goes, oh, mate,
[53:45] Speaker 1: there's an RB two up the road. Mate, I've just
[53:47] Speaker 1: jumping up here. May if you let me do this, mate,
[53:49] Speaker 1: I'll know your lawn for free. He goes, you're too
[53:52] Speaker 1: an't He goes, yeah, it's right mate. He goes on,
[53:55] Speaker 1: detective sergeant, when you finish, go out the back about
[54:00] Speaker 1: the back.
[54:00] Speaker 2: To Did he let him? Didn't get in trouble?
[54:04] Speaker 1: No, no, let him? But made some of the things.
[54:07] Speaker 1: He lived with us for a while, didn't he?
[54:09] Speaker 3: Yes.
[54:11] Speaker 4: He rings him up every now and then. He's very
[54:12] Speaker 4: passionate about rugby league, Oh, very very passionate. And he's
[54:18] Speaker 4: always got a wins about someone, you know, some club
[54:20] Speaker 4: or something. But he's good. He's good. We got invited
[54:23] Speaker 4: to his wedding. He got he married Colige Gavilot Horsetralia.
[54:27] Speaker 1: From from uh some of the other stuff, remember like
[54:32] Speaker 1: you said you found a bag of pot and things
[54:34] Speaker 1: like that in the house because he was a standover
[54:36] Speaker 1: man for the Tromboli's notorious crime crime gang down in
[54:41] Speaker 1: Griffith and he was a standover man there. So he
[54:44] Speaker 1: caught wind of him and then he came up and
[54:46] Speaker 1: played for cessnot some characters in their sides.
[54:51] Speaker 4: He left in eighty two. Jimmy Walsh come from Gloucester
[54:54] Speaker 4: in eighty three, didn't he. So Jimmy took over Willie
[54:59] Speaker 4: uh Terry Reagan's flat. So before Rugo left, he pushed
[55:03] Speaker 4: the better side and shot on the carpet. Then he
[55:06] Speaker 4: pulled the bed back, so Jimmy and Vickie moved into
[55:08] Speaker 4: the unit. Vicky used to say to Christious smelling that user,
[55:12] Speaker 4: I don't know what it is anywhere. One day she
[55:15] Speaker 4: got our now to look under the bed. It is
[55:16] Speaker 4: his bloody big tur.
[55:20] Speaker 1: Just on a serious turn here a little bit like so, Dad,
[55:25] Speaker 1: you were the best junior coming through at Curry Curry
[55:27] Speaker 1: and Curry Carry has produced most rugby league nationals of
[55:32] Speaker 1: any town city in Australia's produced that many. It's unbelievable.
[55:35] Speaker 4: Sixteen I think.
[55:36] Speaker 1: Yeah, your next door neighbor was Johnny Sadler. He's not
[55:41] Speaker 1: used to live over the over the back, over the back. Yeah,
[55:45] Speaker 1: Johnny Sadler and Garry Salov and Billy Hamilton, all those
[55:49] Speaker 1: players incredible players. But mate, when and Dad met, Dad
[55:54] Speaker 1: went to cessnot because Curry. Curry signed Johnny Raper, didn't they. Yeah,
[55:58] Speaker 1: so the great, the immortal Johnny he went to Curry.
[56:01] Speaker 1: So Dad went to sesnot when he was young. But
[56:03] Speaker 1: I'm telling you now, mate, when cesnot played Curry, you
[56:06] Speaker 1: can go to all heavy derbies all around the world,
[56:10] Speaker 1: you know, Liverpool, Evert and everything. Nothing would have been
[56:13] Speaker 1: more violent in the crowd and the.
[56:15] Speaker 4: Games and that ten flights on the on the hill
[56:19] Speaker 4: like a whole I.
[56:20] Speaker 1: Mean sometimes just to bring in the right squad. To
[56:22] Speaker 1: remember that time at cesnot the whole hill was just
[56:26] Speaker 1: it was just like a right like a ball.
[56:29] Speaker 2: In book broad Is it still like that still?
[56:32] Speaker 4: So you get the crowd as they used to get.
[56:35] Speaker 1: I remember being a kid, it was terrifying.
[56:37] Speaker 4: I went to stock in seventy three. The year after
[56:40] Speaker 4: they won the premiership with seventy two and they matched Systo.
[56:45] Speaker 4: Maitland played in the Grand final seventy so they opened
[56:47] Speaker 4: the season at Synock. So Sesnock played Maitland and it
[56:51] Speaker 4: was the football ground was an noble because they used
[56:53] Speaker 4: to play cricket there in the summer. There was that
[56:57] Speaker 4: many people there that they had to get the kids
[56:59] Speaker 4: and put a between the sideline and the fence so
[57:02] Speaker 4: the kids could see. We couldn't run on the ground,
[57:04] Speaker 4: we had to walk and step over the kids singing
[57:06] Speaker 4: on the playing fields. There was that many people well,
[57:09] Speaker 4: and I remember I think it was about twenty cents
[57:12] Speaker 4: to get in for an adult, nothing for kids. And
[57:15] Speaker 4: I heard someone say after the game, the Donnie Scayfield,
[57:21] Speaker 4: So what was the gate takers today? He said, I
[57:23] Speaker 4: think it was five thousand dollars that's how many people.
[57:28] Speaker 3: In.
[57:28] Speaker 4: Yeah? Is that?
[57:29] Speaker 1: Gal?
[57:29] Speaker 2: Did you did you hate watching Gary play because that's
[57:31] Speaker 2: from a different era, that's as violent as a sport gets.
[57:35] Speaker 3: No, I didn't worry me.
[57:36] Speaker 1: I hate.
[57:36] Speaker 3: I worried me more watching the boys play.
[57:39] Speaker 2: I was going to ask you that who what did like?
[57:41] Speaker 2: You had your partner. You got this got your sons, but.
[57:45] Speaker 1: Look back on But it would be when we go
[57:47] Speaker 1: to Curry and Place versus Curry. I'm telling you now, mate,
[57:51] Speaker 1: they like the crowd would find me and Joey when
[57:54] Speaker 1: we're young. Boys may may be full going adults punts
[57:58] Speaker 1: the shit out of us. You know. I go you mum,
[58:01] Speaker 1: and sometimes women when I see him, boys spat on me.
[58:03] Speaker 1: One day, Like the level of rivalry between those two
[58:07] Speaker 1: towns was just insane.
[58:08] Speaker 3: Well there was even people would get up like seven
[58:11] Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning, go down to the ground and
[58:13] Speaker 3: park trucks, tabletop trucks outside so they could stand on
[58:18] Speaker 3: the trucks because they knew would get in wat fence.
[58:22] Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. And Dad's the size of the dad coach.
[58:26] Speaker 1: They'd start the season all the time, play one of
[58:28] Speaker 1: the big Sydney sides. So one year Balmain blocker Roach
[58:32] Speaker 1: still says, he goes, mate, I'll never forget we played
[58:34] Speaker 1: your dad's side. He said. I was a young bloke
[58:36] Speaker 1: and I'm up against a blow called Willy Tarry. Willy
[58:38] Speaker 1: Terry is a North Coenslander. The dad signed to come
[58:41] Speaker 1: down and he said blockers standing there, fucking blocker can fight,
[58:44] Speaker 1: and Blocker went, I'm going to teach you a lesson today,
[58:47] Speaker 1: old man. And he said, Willy Tarry as about to packet,
[58:51] Speaker 1: helped me off and just went bang. He said, Maddie
[58:53] Speaker 1: hit me that hard, he said, I literally ship my
[58:56] Speaker 1: pants said he hit me bal main beats. That's not
[59:01] Speaker 1: that ninth to thirteen nine. Then the next year they
[59:04] Speaker 1: played new Town. Newtown that year made the Grand Final
[59:07] Speaker 1: and I think Newtown but you're six to two or something,
[59:10] Speaker 1: so made it was. It was top class football, but
[59:13] Speaker 1: violent beyond earth.
[59:15] Speaker 4: Yeah, very violent. I remember when I first started to
[59:18] Speaker 4: play a grade. All the old blokes used to say,
[59:21] Speaker 4: you've got to get your arm up, as I used
[59:22] Speaker 4: to get knocked out a fair bit. So you're run
[59:25] Speaker 4: into the ruck with the ball and then you have
[59:27] Speaker 4: arm cocked up. Well, I don't say you wouldn't cop
[59:28] Speaker 4: a stiff up said like, it wasn't a pedally that
[59:33] Speaker 4: they knock out.
[59:35] Speaker 2: How do you see the modern game now, then, because
[59:37] Speaker 2: you've lived through basically three or four different generations of
[59:40] Speaker 2: rugby league, I don't like it. You don't like them
[59:42] Speaker 2: modern game?
[59:43] Speaker 4: No, they don't like it at all there's no contest
[59:48] Speaker 4: anymore for the ball, so that they can't kick the
[59:51] Speaker 4: ball in the ruck. The scrums are a waste of time,
[59:55] Speaker 4: but may as well just have a bunny scratch between
[59:58] Speaker 4: two blokes, get to have they reads together and try
[1:00:01] Speaker 4: the ball in the middle so you can rake back
[1:00:02] Speaker 4: the first. But it's just I don't think it's tough,
[1:00:09] Speaker 4: don't get me wrong, but uh there's a big there's
[1:00:14] Speaker 4: a big gap between eight and the bottom tobes. You
[1:00:19] Speaker 4: can only pick the top eight every year. Just who
[1:00:23] Speaker 4: they buy and what they've got. It's the same as
[1:00:26] Speaker 4: the women's game. The women's go, you'll forget about it
[1:00:30] Speaker 4: now it's going to be Roasters and Brisbane now they
[1:00:34] Speaker 4: let just your southwill gather Risband. I don't know why
[1:00:38] Speaker 4: Newcastle that we're going to have to level that out.
[1:00:40] Speaker 1: It's too unfair. Again, just to finish, we'll say this
[1:00:45] Speaker 1: like when we talk about you know, the different eras,
[1:00:48] Speaker 1: to let people know this is going to sound. When
[1:00:50] Speaker 1: you first started playing at Cessnock, you bake the day
[1:00:56] Speaker 1: of the game. You used to meet at the pub,
[1:00:57] Speaker 1: is that right? And have a few students they did.
[1:01:02] Speaker 1: Col and Gordon Bradley, the twin boys. They grew up
[1:01:05] Speaker 1: with the Marion Curry. They used to go out and
[1:01:06] Speaker 1: I went with and they'd have four minutes before they.
[1:01:09] Speaker 4: Played the day of the game. The day of the game,
[1:01:12] Speaker 4: and Cole said me, one day, you come down the pub, Gas,
[1:01:16] Speaker 4: I said, what for? You said, I have a beer?
[1:01:18] Speaker 4: I said, no, I'm not here before I play. I
[1:01:20] Speaker 4: wouldn't have one the night before.
[1:01:22] Speaker 2: Oh you didn't. You didn't do that.
[1:01:24] Speaker 4: No, I couldn't have played. But the old days, when
[1:01:28] Speaker 4: I first started playing grade, they used to drink wine.
[1:01:31] Speaker 4: They have sherry in the shed or musket and all
[1:01:35] Speaker 4: the Fords used to share a bottle around and they
[1:01:38] Speaker 4: knocked the bottle off between the sixers. What yeah, what?
[1:01:42] Speaker 2: What was the theory behind that?
[1:01:43] Speaker 1: Why?
[1:01:43] Speaker 2: Wine is that?
[1:01:45] Speaker 4: So? You used to make clear clear your lungs, say
[1:01:47] Speaker 4: you can breathe it?
[1:01:49] Speaker 1: And what about the coal mines games? Just quickly, you know,
[1:01:51] Speaker 1: working down there you took I remember Gas used to
[1:01:54] Speaker 1: say to me, what do you want to do your life?
[1:01:55] Speaker 1: I'll be a coal miner, he said, I'll fix you.
[1:01:57] Speaker 1: You took me down there and went fucking hell the
[1:02:00] Speaker 1: place she used to drink down there, down the mines.
[1:02:02] Speaker 4: No, not down the mines, but they used to drink
[1:02:05] Speaker 4: before when I was working afternoon shift. A lot of blokes.
[1:02:08] Speaker 4: She used to play golf of a Friday, so then
[1:02:11] Speaker 4: they'd have half of us as skewness. And it wasn't
[1:02:14] Speaker 4: the place to go half half pissed too, because you
[1:02:17] Speaker 4: had to be aware of what was going on around
[1:02:19] Speaker 4: you all the time. A lot of the tragedy. Yeah,
[1:02:27] Speaker 4: if I got time to tell them about the shaft
[1:02:30] Speaker 4: we got caught in the shaft. Yeah, this story. What
[1:02:34] Speaker 4: happened was a Friday night. We were working swing shifts,
[1:02:38] Speaker 4: so we started at sixth night finished at two in
[1:02:41] Speaker 4: the morning, but we used to work right through the
[1:02:43] Speaker 4: Saturday and doing double shift. So this night we're all
[1:02:47] Speaker 4: prepared for the double shift. Anyway, been raining about forty
[1:02:54] Speaker 4: eight hours, and we had three big dams at the mine,
[1:02:57] Speaker 4: which just used to pump the war out of the
[1:02:59] Speaker 4: dams and up the top that had filled it down
[1:03:01] Speaker 4: to the second one filled it own a third and
[1:03:04] Speaker 4: then they'd pumped back down the pit and we'd use
[1:03:06] Speaker 4: it again to clear all the dust used to hose
[1:03:10] Speaker 4: it down and all that sort of stuff. So we
[1:03:12] Speaker 4: used a lot of water anyway, what happened. The top
[1:03:15] Speaker 4: then burst and all the water from the three dams
[1:03:20] Speaker 4: come down the hill and where we used to get
[1:03:22] Speaker 4: in the sharer in the in the cage to go
[1:03:25] Speaker 4: down the mine, which was eighteen hundred feet the water
[1:03:30] Speaker 4: was the lowest point on the property. So the water
[1:03:32] Speaker 4: was just going down on a big drain. So the
[1:03:35] Speaker 4: pit flooded and worried boy and we were sort of
[1:03:40] Speaker 4: about one hundred meters higher than where the shaft stopped
[1:03:44] Speaker 4: at the bottom. So we got word we had to evacuate,
[1:03:48] Speaker 4: and that was everybody. So we got we got the
[1:03:51] Speaker 4: pit bottom. By that stage the water was up to
[1:03:54] Speaker 4: our waists. The cage was waiting for us, and the
[1:03:57] Speaker 4: manager was there. The other manager was there, the black
[1:04:00] Speaker 4: charge everybody that day. He was there and he had
[1:04:03] Speaker 4: a sheet of paper cool at your name jumping. He
[1:04:06] Speaker 4: made sure that Lydd never left anyone behind. So we
[1:04:09] Speaker 4: organed in. The shaft was overloaded because when only holed
[1:04:13] Speaker 4: about maybe thirty thirty people, so I remember correctly, and
[1:04:20] Speaker 4: we probably had twice as many blokes. And so they
[1:04:24] Speaker 4: said right over and shut the gates, let's go. So
[1:04:26] Speaker 4: they rang up, they rang the bills three times that
[1:04:29] Speaker 4: mony the winds driver could hit the three bills, so
[1:04:32] Speaker 4: we're right to go. Clear. We started going up. We
[1:04:35] Speaker 4: got up nine hundred feet in the power and off
[1:04:38] Speaker 4: the wind shouse got plooted and we're suspended in the air,
[1:04:43] Speaker 4: and I think we're in there nine hours. Anyway, what
[1:04:48] Speaker 4: happened They finished up, They lowered a walk he talked,
[1:04:52] Speaker 4: He down on a y rope down to us and
[1:04:55] Speaker 4: the under managed charge. He got on the and they said,
[1:04:59] Speaker 4: what's happened is the water's gone over the transformer and
[1:05:03] Speaker 4: it's flooded. We've run the energy company to come out,
[1:05:07] Speaker 4: bring a transformer out. We're going to try and get
[1:05:10] Speaker 4: this out. We're going to hook the new transform up
[1:05:13] Speaker 4: and we'll start and we'll winches out. So they took hours,
[1:05:17] Speaker 4: and anyway, I didn't we're there for no one anyway.
[1:05:20] Speaker 4: So anyway, they hooked the power up and they loaded
[1:05:23] Speaker 4: the thing back down again. They said, right, everyone braced themselves,
[1:05:27] Speaker 4: were right to go. So they turned the power on
[1:05:31] Speaker 4: and the brakes wouldn't work, and we started to go.
[1:05:34] Speaker 4: We dropped about one hundred foot and they slammed the
[1:05:37] Speaker 4: emergency brakes on and we're bombed up and there like that,
[1:05:40] Speaker 4: and it was that scary. If the rope will broke,
[1:05:44] Speaker 4: we're all dead. Anyway, they loaded it down and they
[1:05:49] Speaker 4: said we're gonna We're got to get another one. So
[1:05:52] Speaker 4: they had to bring another. They didn't have enough power
[1:05:55] Speaker 4: in that generator to pull us all out. It was
[1:05:58] Speaker 4: too heavy, the case was too heavy. So they hooked
[1:06:01] Speaker 4: another one up. The speaking down again and they said, right,
[1:06:05] Speaker 4: we're going to try again. So sure enough we got up,
[1:06:09] Speaker 4: but we're only creeping like that. The whole thing was vibrating.
[1:06:13] Speaker 4: Blokes were crying like when we got out, blokes actually
[1:06:17] Speaker 4: come back to work. It was that scary.
[1:06:19] Speaker 1: Did you go back?
[1:06:20] Speaker 4: Yeah? I did? But anyway, pretty emotional stuff. This. So
[1:06:27] Speaker 4: when we got to the surface, they have these steel
[1:06:31] Speaker 4: foot They lift the cage up above the level of
[1:06:34] Speaker 4: the ground. These steel fruit come out and they set
[1:06:37] Speaker 4: the cage on it and then they opened the gates
[1:06:39] Speaker 4: and let you out. So what happened on the gate
[1:06:43] Speaker 4: side we would get out, those foot didn't come out.
[1:06:48] Speaker 4: There's something wrong. The the back ones come out and
[1:06:51] Speaker 4: they sat the cage down and the weight come off
[1:06:54] Speaker 4: the rope and we tipped like that, tip sideways and
[1:06:57] Speaker 4: it sjammed, so we couldn't get the gates up. We
[1:07:00] Speaker 4: couldn't get the men out, and blacks were screaming, yelling,
[1:07:04] Speaker 4: and they said staying, don't try and get out, staying
[1:07:07] Speaker 4: to stay in the cage. So they got everybody. They
[1:07:10] Speaker 4: dragged blacks back off trying to climb over the over
[1:07:13] Speaker 4: the gate, dragged blacks back in and they'd lifted it
[1:07:17] Speaker 4: up and they got a hammer and they built it
[1:07:19] Speaker 4: into the stool foot because they finished something. They come
[1:07:21] Speaker 4: in and sat the cage out the gates. So we
[1:07:25] Speaker 4: all got out. So the mine manager was there, the
[1:07:31] Speaker 4: police were there, the fire we gave resume mine's rescue
[1:07:35] Speaker 4: were there. Everyone the hundreds of boot will support this stuff.
[1:07:40] Speaker 4: And that was it. But anybody they run home, didn't they?
[1:07:44] Speaker 4: They rang all the bloke's parents informed of what was
[1:07:48] Speaker 4: going on and tolerbant. Circumstance was very emotionally.
[1:07:53] Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember you wake something and I didn't you.
[1:07:56] Speaker 1: You said it's looking pretty bad. Dad's going yeah, yeah,

[1:08:38] Speaker 4: used to They never had Bendy plays for the team.
[1:08:41] Speaker 4: They're lucky to get us a third grade side, and
[1:08:43] Speaker 4: they'd be all short for the reserve grade, so they
[1:08:45] Speaker 4: used to bring unders up. We were allowed to play
[1:08:48] Speaker 4: five games through the year of reserve grade. So movie

[1:09:06] Speaker 4: So we're playing against South and they brought this kid
[1:09:08] Speaker 4: down from Narrow broy and he was about six foot five.
[1:09:11] Speaker 4: This kid, big bloke, hard to handle, and Ernie was
