Hi Pete, just wondered if you went to Verdale Primary School. I was Di Toogood and my parents had a milk bar in Centre Road Vermont. I love your site, it’s awesome. Di
OMG… You know I thought about you the other day….weird… Yes it is me, my surname is my mothers maiden name… I remember your father owned OK nuts… Small world huh…..Hope you are good and life is treating you well, thanks for dropping by.!
Hi Pete,
Roger and I own The Blue Bird Cafe in Lockhart NSW (near Wagga Wagga). It has been a Greek-Australian Milk Bar Cafe since 1930 (and before that an oyster bar). We bought it near derelict a year ago and over this year, have been restoring the Art Deco building including the original 1930s milk bar. Please visit our blog (bluebirdlockhart.blogspot.com.au) or better still the cafe on your next NSW road trip. We are filling the place with retro milk bar memorabilia and welcome people who appreciate the piece of childhood that is almost extinct these days.
Funny hey how the years go so quickly. We have been collectors for years. I have an old original enamel peters sign and an original sennits ice cream sign. I’ll take pics. We also have old pinball machines and one is the Orbit 1 which is the first Aussie made machine. I’ll take lots of pics tomorrow.
So glad I found you
Di
WOW, That sounds pretty cool, so r you both collectors, what do you collect personally Di or you both like same?
When I thought of you I thought of Lisa Zass, Moira ?, Leanne Gilliland, Michael Holgate, etc and thought I wonder what they are all up to these days, just curious I guess…lo and behold you contacted me. How on earth did you know it was me? Can’t wait to see some of your pics. I too had a Peters enamel in Perfect condition, sold it 10 years 🙁 ago when my collectibles went in storage for few years…
