Staying at Grandma and Grandpa’s place

A job I had after school was to buy a half loaf from the bakery down Farquhar St across Woolshed St. That shop is still a bakery, across the street from Richards’ butcher shop (still going strong). Kings news agency  was on the south-east corner of the main street, and I used to get the Eagle comic every week. Dan Dare was the main man in that – space hero, whose adventures were set way in the future (1990s I think). Those Venetians – little green men!

Eudunda Farmers was the shop for groceries, haberdashery and other stuff. They had an intricate system of overhead wires to move the dockets around the store.
