I remember in the 70's down at the yacht club , there were a lot of thand made tunnels dug into the side of the earth by the carpark.. lotsa tunnels being dug by the kids... anyone else?
???
What was it with us in that town ? .. seems we just wanted to dig tunnels ?? then again we have acknowleged that we grew up " different " we had the safety of a small town which had one difference , that it was cosmopolitan in its make up of nationalities, had enough newcomers to expose us to new ideas unlike some country towns , a sort of happy mixture of the simple life but with a difference ..
So tunnel we did .. built tree dens we did ... built underground dens we did .. had our own jungle in the form of the trees .. yes lucky us , we had all we needed to fuel our imaginations .
We built the most awesome of dens at the bush's at the end of our street , that ran at 90 degree's from the 1st ave bush's, opposite E1-1 ave..... underground it was, and covered in leaves, nobody would ever find it..... we could've held out for at least 6 weeks if the Germans or Boers came to attack... the scorpions from 1st ave we were....
