Melbourne Technical College.
John Griffiths sent us this, they are scans of a magazine he found recently. It is an “advertising” magazine detailing all the courses available at Melbourne Technical College (later to become RMIT) back in 1946.
John says most courses cost £1/10/0 ($3.00) per term. |

Young Peter moved to the Northern
Territory and bought a donkey from a farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed
to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died.' Peter replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.' The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.' Peter said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer asked, 'What yer gunna do with him? Peter said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.' The farmer said 'You can't raffle off a dead donkey!' Peter said, 'Sure I can, watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'
A month later, the farmer met up with Peter and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?' Peter said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.00.' The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?' Peter said, 'Just the bloke who won. So I gave him back his two dollars.'
Peter now works for one of Australia’s major banks |

John Webster sent us this photo. He says: "I was handed this photo a while ago and I am now trying to identify the men before we all forget their names. I took the photo to Coffs Harbour to the 45th "Off to Vietnam" Anniversary Reunion and a few blokes, such as Mike (Dutchy) Holland, Eric Evans and Ken Howard helped to identify 19 out of the 27 but we're still short of a few names. We believe that the photo was taken in late 1964 or in early 1965."
Click on the photo for a bigger view.
If you can help, please get in touch with us and we'll pass the info onto John.

Walking home from the pub, this bloke hears a "Psst! Psst!, give me a hand with this dead pig would you?" "Sure", said the bloke, "what are you going to do with it?" "I'm going to take it home and stick it in the bath." “Why the hell do you wanna do a crazy thing like that?" "Well, you see, it's my wife. She is one of those women who knows EVERYTHING! I tell her that the price of petrol has shot up again. she says, "I know!" I tell her there is more trouble in the East again she says, "I know!" “I tell her Francis down the road is ill in hospital and she knows that too. Well, tomorrow morning, she always gets up before me, and when she runs to me screaming, "THERE'S A DEAD PIG IN THE BATH! THERE'S A DEAD PIG IN THE BATH!" ... I'll just turn to her and say, "Yeah, I know, I know!" |
