Its how you think it is. Its more about the nostalgia than anything else.

[Jacks Back]

I can't really see how it can be nostalgia though as there is nothing left there from the old days - nothing!

I just tell it how I think it is... and don’t buy into mutual wankfests.

I believe people call that a “circle jerk”

There is still the location.

My old secondary school buildings have all be demolished and it is all houses though. But if I go back it is still nostalgic for me.

If I go to the G there is not one building left from my youth and the grass has been relaid many times, but that does not stop the memories of various football games and cricket matches from flooding back whenever I go back.

Everytime I walk around Albert Lake, when I reach what is now the soccer oval memories always come flooding back of Barks just leaping into the sky in front of me to take one of the most spectacular marks ever taken.

When I go to RSEA Park I still remember attending games there with my long dead Nana.

There may be no nostalgia for you, but there is 100% for me.

Kids having to stand on tinnies to see the action.

You are obvious old enough like me to remember the large steel beer cans. Mainly Fosters I think?

As a kid one of my first tasks was to hunt around for two cans to stand on to increase improve my viewpoint.

Yep, I remember them. Very large tinnies.
Funnily enough one of those old empty tinnies was discovered recently at my childhood home when the bathroom had to be ripped up. You forget how big they actually were.
Obviously the plumber fancied a quiet one before knock off one afternoon back in the day and just tossed the tinnie under the bath before shooting through for the day.

They still had real tinnies in Tassie long after all the cans in Vic were changed to aluminium.

Just the walk from Moorabbin Station will be a nostalgic blast from the past.
