Bembrick died in 1960 and taught at SBHS

Even though 60 years ago...I can still remember where I grew up after age 4...and which schools I attended.
It was definitely NBHS.....the gate exit where at age 18, driving out of it I was nearly collected by a truck (my fault)...is still there.
SBHS would not have a poor excuse for a tree, looking like it was done by a 5 yr old, on its emblem, my guess.

I left NBHS in 1964 age 18, had to repeat a year because...I was always a 70% student when the subjects were basic...2 +2 = 4.....and 95% subjects were selected for me to study in years 4 and 5...was never going to end well.
Counting back:
14 in 1960
13 in 1959

There seems to only be one 'Bembrick' latin teacher of the era.....Edgar.
I remember being taught at NBHS by a Mr Bembrick who wrote the text book...not necessarily in 1963, that was just a date I selected for the 'maths exam' joke.
Surely I didn't dream it.
There must be an explanation.

Cool story bro

Cool story bro

The very old car had a crank handle( which got much use), bench seat, push button start and a column shift.
Too many near misses, failed brakes, blown tyre sending me across the road to the right and up a side street.
Put hot water in the radiator to warm up the engine...seemed like a good idea at the time.
If only I'd been taught about cars and not Shakespeare.
I was a tireless advocate for rego checks/
pink slips.

Back to Coronavirus footy.
DT/ST today:

"Fittler wants Origin crowds"...is happy for Origin to be played after the Grand Final "which could be played in Nov".

Would un-vaccinated for Covid-19 fans (vaccine is 12 months away) want to
attend, actually attend?
That is the question.

What make of car was it?

1954 Hillman.

1954 Hillman.

A ‘54 would’ve had a starter motor.
What colour?

I just googled them.
The 53 interior looks exactly like it. I don't remember a car radio though, I used to hang one from the mirror.
Black.

Even though it had a good battery and starter motor, Grandpa still liked to get out the crank handle and start the car to save the battery.

My car had a little 'trafficator' turning signal thing that used to pop out and up from between the drivers door and the rear passengers door.
Sometimes it used to get stuck, like everything else on the car, including the driver, bogged in sand at the beach, when then he first joined the NRMA.

Went to the movies at Manly one NYE.
Came back to car...someone had put a dent in the roof, filled it up with sand, and put a brick on top.

Black wasn’t a factory colour. Maybe you got a respray?
