Thanks for digging this up. I’ve missed Barassi’s nonsensical rambling monologues.

…and the fact that the companies building the network will never have enough capacity for the users it will be taking on (Current 3G as a fine example).

Hi Dave,
This is absolutely brilliant. I am a bit of an amateur genealogist and large proportion of my Grandmother’s family is from Bendemeer so I am slowly putting together some family history information for the town as there is really nothing online. If it comes off it would be great to be able to include this video as it is a wonderful story and well made – congratulations. I live in Armidale so if you are considering donating to archives I can help you out with that. Thanks again!

Absolutely classic. The pictures are great, but the audio of that amazing woman, speaking in a classic Aussie country accent is wonderful. It needs to be sent to the archives for permanent preservation.

Thanks for sharing! What a fascinating find and then to be able to chat with the family that ran the Butchery. Wow.
Do you mind if I share this with my class? We are learning about Community Helpers and Past and Present. What great links to both units.
Stowing away on the next DfA Holiday – you visit great places! hehe

Comment on Lying to Our Kids and to Ourselves by Ray Dixon

It’s far too negative, and this statement is wrong:

The housing bubble in the USA that helped precipitate the Global Financial Crisis was a perfect example of what happens when there’s no equity left in our homes to keep re-financing our lifestyle.

There was no ‘housing bubble’ (or boom) in the US. It wasn’t about average people re-mortgaging themselves to the hilt. It was about a fraudulent system whereby houses were sold at over-inflated prices to low income renters with fraudulent loans obtained on their behalf, which they could never afford to repay. Basically the US just sucked itself up its own arse through sheer greed. Our regulations prevent that sort of thing happening. The sun will still rise in the morning and life will go on.
