Hamish Blake

It is now, but almost perfectly timed by the Blake family.

We got in in 1980.

Held on for 20 years.

House prices went sideways for 20 years.

Then we got out just before the boom.

Just before the boom.

Good timing.

Now it's super popular because there's like, you know, good schools and stuff out there.

But when I grew up, it was... Look, I had a great time.

It was a pure kind of like suburban...

Um, you know, especially like, like those early years before teens.

And then, then I moved schools a couple of times.

Like I ended up going to school still in Melbourne, but like way down like Bayside area we moved to.

So, but I had a pretty fun childhood.

I've been thinking about my childhood a lot lately cause I'm, I'm trying to explain to my kids, um,

Like just really what boredom is and, and how it's good for you and how it makes you imagine things and you have to, you know, just explaining to them, like we didn't have screen time.

Not because our parents were like, you can't have screen time.

It's like, we physically couldn't have screen time.

Didn't exist.

We didn't have screens.
