Camping holidays were on the agenda every year.

having great fun with friends and relatives doing these things.

In fact, when Lake Pedder was planned to be flooded to build this dam called the Gordon Dam, they were very much against that.

So I remember seeing photos when they'd flown in on little planes

to have a look at it and show they're protesting about it.

But just basically everything about our lives growing up.

My dad was fantastic at chronologically taking the photos and then putting them in albums.

So great to reminisce.

Well, Bridge North is a town north of Launceston and my dad actually grew up on a farm that overlooks the football ground and they have a football club.

They had it back then and I think it was formed about that time when dad was born and the Scovia family has been a big part of it.

Well, I was actually there at... They asked me to be their number one ticket holder earlier this year and I went to a function there and they had a lot of photos of previous teams and celebratory pictures of victories they'd had.

But there was one picture that showed that...

Out of the 20 teams, there's like seven Scolias, five Lacks and five Hortons, I think the other family was called, but basically a small group of people and, yeah, they still play there and love their football.

I actually never played for Bridge North.

I played AFL football at school and then when I was down at university.

But when I was on holidays, my parents lived not that far from Bridge North, so I'd go and train with them, yeah, each time during the holidays.

I don't know about now.

I don't know if I had that much ability to do a lot of things, but yeah, I definitely had determination in my personality.

In some ways, I feel a little bit bad for my brother.

He was a much more talented sports person than I was.
