But, you know, she licked her finger and stuck it into the jelly crystals and ate it well before it got home.
So this is so interesting.
Every time I talk to someone that went to Luna Park as a child, they always have these
Beautiful memories that just put a smile on their face.
And, in fact, Martin Sharp, the artist, again, used to say, you know, the Big Dipper's a bit like an extension of the Harbour Bridge.
The River Caves was like an extension of...
the ferry that you take to get to Luna Park, and you went through these nine dioramas, nine different worlds.
There was Tarzan and Jane.
There were Eskimos.
There were Aborigines.
There was a Japanese tea house.
There were all different worlds.
And at that time, the river case came from Adelaide.
It was packed up and brought from Adelaide.
So it was very much like...
the great museums in New York, the dioramas that took people around the world when before world travel, international travel was possible.
So they really took people to other places and not to mention the Big Dipper, which was just a thrill right on the edge of Sydney Harbour.
There were before it opened.
But very cleverly, Ted Hopkins, who was a very fine photographer, befriended the local reverend, Reverend Frank Cash, who was also a very good photographer, who'd taken photos daily of the Harbour Bridge being built.
And so he threw a lot of money at the church fate.
