Over the years, I have collected many great photos of kids playing at home. My memories as a kid are of playing on the swing or the see-saw. When mum wasn’t looking, I would swing on the clothes line. I loved riding my trike in the backyard and out the front of our house on the footpath, as there was a small hill to zoom down. Then there were the cricket games with my sisters (when they were bored) and kicking the footy across the veggie garden with my dad.
I hope the photos trigger great memories for you. Thanks to the following for sharing their photos: Wendy Pomfret, Jeanette Doherty and Myra Slee.
The rocker featuring the girls Myra and Maisie McLean was at their home. In the 1940s and ’50s, the girls’ parents owned a butcher shop in Maude St called McColl and McLean. Myra married Murray Slee, who became a Shepparton councillor and mayor.
