Where did I live ?

At Glenbede in early days,we used to get mail from the nearest Post Office once a week on a Sunday,which came by truck,so the correspondence school in Townsville sent you an excercise book of school work to do in a week,so you did it helped by my mother in my case,and returned it by the same mail truck the following week, completed and it was corrected by the same person in Townsville each week,given credits,and sent back to you along with another book for the following week to be done.You only studied long enough to complete the questions in this exercise book,along with learning tables and spelling etc,that the teacher in Townsville told you to learn,which sometimes you learnt while riding a horse with my father as we went to muster sheep on the Farm or other farm jobs as in my very young days,we only had one car,so a lot of work was done on horses,especially in the war years,as petrol was rationed,and you only got a smalll quota of petrol,which was only used for essential purposes.
