Many people will be travelling back home this Easter weekend and that sparked a thought rabbit hole about how our national roads have changed over my lifetime.
So I went looking and found a Department of Transport map of our national road network from 1959 which confirmed a lot of my childhood memories. Let me go through some of them:
"Have you got any butter?" I asked the barista at the Slow XS Lounge in Lanseria. He had just passed me a double espresso. "Sure," he said, and passed me a couple of single serve tubs. He then watched in fascination as I tipped both into the espresso.
"I bet you've never seen this before," I said. He shook his head slowly.
"Is that Bullet Coffee?" asked the woman in line behind me. "Sort of a poor man's version," I said.
"Why?" asked the barista.
"It stops you getting hungry," said the woman. "Exactly," said I.
