Letter by Frank Nunn written in 1992 (unedited):
IT was good to read stories about the Old Bremer River and the hyacinth. It was that thick the mudcrabs could dance on it. I live on the main road in front of Dinmore shcool when shcool finished I had to down to Nunns paddock to get the cows. I was about 10 ro 11 years old somethimes a cow would be in the river afera bit of feed I would go home and get Dad and the older boys to get her out. We lost a couple of good cows. The paddock was later sold to Slacks butcher of Ipswich. The old Bremer was clean and plenty of fish after the hyacinth was gone. plenty of bream and mullett. My dad would catch plenty of good bream and we had a crab pot and got mud crabs and bream and there was always plenty of shrimps. the boys would get a rod in the bush and put a line and cork and flyhook and mix some dough and get plenty of gar fish.
I can remember the SS Essex every Friday night come from Brisbane to Ipswhich and bring goods to Cribb and Foote. I think it was Manders who had a nice motboat and took picnic trips down to the junction every Sunday afternoon to Maroon picnic ground. If I remember right a young policeman fell overboard and was drowned the Bremer. I can rember they had 3 mile swim from ipswich to Booval. I had a cousin Vic Nun who swam and I think he won a race. He lost an arm in the mine accident and that finsihed his swimming.
On a Sunday morning about 30 or more would go down through Nunn's paddock to the green bank for a swim. They never wore any togs them days. The older boys would hide our clothers and going home through the paddock they would have a cown dung fight. We had lots of fund on the old Bremer and good fishing. There were a lot of pluging for fish years ago and they killed a lot of fish. My dad never liken them plugging. If I remember right two old chaps (locals) was caught plugging dnear the junction and fined.
The spelling might be a bit off. I am nearly 85 years from a familyu of 14 we didn't have much money but we had plenty of fun and plenty of love..
Im like old paddy.. Pady wrote a letter to his Irish Moby O?? saying if you don't receive it write and let me know. If I make mistake in spelling Molley dar said he rember its pthe pen's that's bad, don't lay the blame on mem.
