[QUOTE="davent, post: 325545, member: 6002"] Tough buggers back in the day. I grew up on the mid North Coast of NSW. My 1st job was with a Blacksmith at timber town, near Wauchope. As a young bloke who had never worked before, I loved it and the history of Australia. I think that exposure has always meant that I would love history. I go detecting here in the NT, and see the Chinese workings, and those of the old timers. I'm dripping in sweat swinging my gpx, and really feeling the heat, then I thinkbabout those blokes in the 1870,s, with no aircon car to get into, and drive homecat the end of the day. Same with the old loggers, hard men and women back in the day. [/QUOTE]
