Living in the 70's (again)

Do you remember any of these? I had fun remembering all this for a Facebook group ...

  • Hush at the Mattara Festival in the park
  • Hanging out the back of the Civic Theatre to get the Ted Mulry Gang's autographs (or Sherbet, the Tats, the Hooks, JPY, etc)
  • Marcia Hines, Jon English and Trevor White at the Civic Theatre
  • Flashez on ABC TV with Ray Burgess and Mike More
  • The Goodies followed by Dr Who, every night!
  • Surfing on a Surf-O-Plane
  • Riding my red scooter sitting down (with a white vinyl seat), down the pavement of our block and round the corner, really fast
  • Show bags that were packed full of lollies and other stuff and cost next to nothing
  • White Knights and Curly Wurly's
  • Going on long car trips in the holidays - chewing heaps of PK, making faces at the people in the car behind, drinking lemon squash in the car when dad was having a cooling ale in the pub
  • Class of 74 tv show
  • Sucking the orange juice out of your Sunnyboy until it turned white
  • Metro bubblegum
  • velvet slaps with bamboo soles
  • puka shell necklaces
  • making your own bikinis out of hawaiian print fabric
  • hotpants and over the knee socks (early 70's)
  • buttons in the shape of apples or cherries that you threaded onto bobby pins
  • overalls with badges sewn on
  • really curly perms and trying to get the 70s flick hairstyle
  • big, creamy full fat milkshakes from The Oak Factory
  • Babe & Charlie perfumes!
  • Mary Quant makeup
  • Pot'o'gloss eyeshadow in pale blue and baby pink for lips
  • Hawaiian tropic suntan lotion
  • Brut33 for men
I need to stop I think!!! oh, one more ...
