how our kids used to play
some things improve with progress but are screens really good for kids ..
kero lamps and hand saws
when we used to execute our prisoners
Please note the overwhelming presence of First Australians featured here … all photos taken at Caboolture Historical Village
WPC: Collage
I can’t believe that you were still executing just 40 years ago.. The Indigenous people in so many Countries were treated appallingly.

ARE treated appallingly, no past tense about it Anna, most have no idea of the bigotry that is paramount here 😦

So interesting, Kate. No, childhood is too short for kids to sit in front of screens! And I’m not surprised at the predominance of First Australian faces. The US still struggles with a justice system that is biased by race. It’s distressing.

Great photos, Kate!
I think kids should be out riding bikes and not sitting in front of monitors/screens. But, then I’m well-seasoned (not old, just well-seasoned! Ha! 😀 ).
When I was a preschooler, I had a little tricycle like that blue one in the first photo! 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂

lol Carolyn I rode a little red cart/truck just like that one .. might even have a photo somewhere .. brings back good memories and I get the feeling that kids are a bit deprived of outdoor fun and adventures these days
