Donkey Steps......leading from Bullough Park down to Perth Street......known them all my life near enough......still don't know why they call them Donkey Steps

Ah, those are familiar....like you I have known them since I was a tiddler...but back then we called them the 'sharp bonks'

My contribution for today is Daffy Duck.
This pic was taken at Movieworld in Brisbane...way back in 2005.
The little girl is my niece H and she is now a beautiful young lady

Better not go into their etymology then .

[Margaret Pilkington]

perhaps not, but way back then I really don't think words had the same connotation(but I could be wrong)

Lovely picture....I especially like the sunny background and the town laid out in the distance.
I have run up and down those steps so many times, going to or coming from Bullough park to my Grans house, which was on Higher Antley St

Thanks . It was just one of those snaps when I happened to be in the right place at the right time .

I had many happy hours in Bullough Park and Priestley Clough when we lived up Fern Gore . They were my playground .

Mine too...in fact was talking to my brother(via e-mail...he lives in Sydney) and he was saying that those two places were our theme parks...and didn't they just beat all those commercial enterprises into a cocked hat?

They certainly did , and all for free , except when Charlie Court opened his hut on the park to sell ice-cream and goodies , especially ice-cream soda .

Picnics down the clough , exploring the Red Barn as we called it , following the stream up to the Five Arches . Couldn't beat those days .

[Margaret Pilkington]

In a nutshell, that is exactly the conversation I had with my brother.

A lot more overgrown than we used to go up on our way to Bullough Park
