ELEVEN

Dunny carters, public bars and Mr Personality

Ray Cooper’s dad drove the dunny cart and very few children ever let him forget it. He was a few years ahead of me in primary school so I didn’t have much to do with him there, but I know he was the butt of constant taunts and jibes. The boys in his class wouldn’t play marbles with him, and the girls used to change their skipping song whenever he came near them in the playground.

“I’m a little Dutch girl dressed in blue

These are the things I like to do

Salute to the Captain

Bow to the Queen

And hold my nose when the dunny man’s been!”
