		<description><![CDATA[I remember at Briar Hill there were times when Dad would say to Mum, &#34;Give us a couple  of bob.&#34; Mum would say &#34;No,&#34; and then he&#8217;d be begging.
It was terrible. It made me cringe to hear him begging like that.
For once he&#8217;d use her name: &#34;Just a couple of bob, Ame,&#34; he&#8217;d say.

		<description><![CDATA[Working conditions between the two world wars were pitiful. Employers could just about get away with murder.
I heard that some blokes looking for work used to wait outside a business, in case someone got fired and they could get the job. I believe it.
Dad talked to his neighbour often of an evening. They would sit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before I was born, my parents had commenced buying a house on a corner block in Essendon. Dad no doubt had saved money while fighting overseas in the Great War of 1914-18.
When they couldn&#8217;t make the payments, they lost that house, and subsequently rented the place in Fitzroy, where I was born. Then we moved [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One day we moved from our first house in Briar Hill, to the other end of the street, on the opposite side.
Mum moved our few possessions, including the double mattress, on the old pram during the day, but she couldn&#8217;t move the double bed. Mum, Phyllis and I shifted with all our stuff, but Dad [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One day my father took me with him, walking from Briar Hill to the Old Diamond Creek Road, where he was going to apply for a fencing job at Kirkbride&#8217;s orchard.
There were a lot of orchards in the Diamond Creek area at the time, and for many years later.
Dad didn&#8217;t get the job, bur Mr [...]]]></description>

Our first house there was just a shack. It was one long room divided with a curtain, and a back verandah. Mum and Dad slept in the bedroom and we kids had the verandah. One end of the room had an open fire used for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we shifted from Fitzroy to Eltham, Dad had to hire a horse and wagon to move our few sticks of furnature.
Going up Sherbourne Road, a steep hill, the horse lifted it&#8217;s tail and let go some wind. Dad prodded the horses back-side with his whip and Mum said &#8220;Oh, you dirty brute!&#8221;
We moved into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to my birth certificate, I was born on April 2, 1922 at 115 George St, Fitzroy.
What actually happened was that Mum (Amy McArthur) went into labour and was walking the quarter mile to St. Vincent&#8217;s Hospital when I wouldn&#8217;t wait any longer! So she squatted in a culvert beside the road and gave birth [...]]]></description>
