20 days short of my second birthday, I was probably dropping a filthy, wet, stinking turd for Mum to clean up. Or getting kicked by my older brother for being in his way.

Given that i was only born late April the year before, probally in my baby stroller!

I was almost five at the time, and given that we lived in the North East and out of the fictional wave range, I guess there wasn't enough fuss made about it for me to remember. I do remember getting enrolled at Klemzig primary school however. This would have happened before school started in 1976, so there is a remote possibilty that I was in the office at Klemzig junior primary school while all you old bastards were out having fun waiting for the wave.

I'll have to ask my mum about that...
Being only 5 years old at the time.
But living close to the Bay, I hope she strapped on the floaties!
Can't be too careful eh? :lol:

Just asked my mother tonight about it and she said that neighbour across road was so distressed Mum brought a few champers over there and got drunk. So I guess my nappies were not changed that particular afternoon!!

Used to go there every year, never been to one at Bonython Park...
Too many clueless dickheads eh!

Plus most folks there are about as Teutonic as Kim Jong Il!
Bit like St. Pat's Day with 'Non-Micks' dressing up like leprachauns!
(Prods try to lay claim to Saint Patrick too!) :roll:

With a Mick Mum & Kraut Dad (R.I.P.) that really sticks in my guts!
(Also explains my piss-head ways too! :wink:

I reckon, way back then, as a 26 year old, I was driving a George Chapmans smallgoods van up through Gawler, Two Wells and Virginia.

You were so worried about the wave that you stole a delivery van so you could get North of it? :shock:

Was working in the Commonwealth bank at the time. Couldn't get over the number of people (mainly pensioners) who took all their money out of the bank in the days leading up to the supposed tidal wave. They wanted it in cash as they believed all bank records would be lost.

by **mighty_tiger_79** » Thu Jan 25, 2007 12:27 pm

which bank?

Abber later that year in September I started work at the Commonwealth Bank.
I worked in the safe deposit vault room 96 King William Street.
Some of ADELAIDES MOST FAMOUS came in and out.
