Mum wants a story

Mum called today. She wants me to write a story about my life as a young kid growing up on our farm at Jerdacuttup, which is a tiny farming community in the South East of Western Australia. Apparently one of the ladies down at Jerdy is putting a book together about life in a pioneer rural community and needs some help with some of the stories from people who lived in the area when it was just bush and old tractors. So why not? Over the next few days I'll share a few of these stories.
