Today’s ‘Yesterday’s Australia’ memory is brought to you by member @Suzanne rose. ‘Growing up in Peakhurst and Dulwich Hill, we would sleep with windows open, we would walk home late at night and walk through a park with no fear. We played a lot of outdoor games like hopscotch, elastics, skipping, what's the time Mr Wolf and many more games. Today it's all games on phones, tablets and computers. I grew up in the 60s and 70s. How nice would it be to be able to go back for just one day.’ Oh, this sounds like such a beautiful childhood @Suzanne rose! I have very fond memories of playing elastics as well, it was one of my favourite games.

I see the wineglass, now where is the wine?
Okay, members, this has to be one of the coolest photos we have ever had posted on our forum! How incredible is it? It was posted by member @Dodgerr along with the caption ‘Some tiny little fungi, Mycena I believe, photographed amongst the ferns near Sherbrooke Forest.’ I must admit, when I first saw this photo I thought they were some abstract wine glasses, so I can’t believe it is fungi! Great shot, @Dodgerr!
