Mount Morgan Memories - Australia
Here we turn back the clock to 1956 and drop in on a different world as seen through the lens of an 8mm film movie camera. It is a world without T.V. or the Internet. Kids did not have Play Stations, but they did have Railway Stations that were points of departure for an exciting ride to magical places that were real. The drinking age was 21 and drugs were something you bought from the Chemist/Pharmacy store if you were sick. In a small town like Mount Morgan social networking meant having many friends that you associated with on a physical level and once a year the whole town went on a picnic.
