It was a great place to learn stuff but having to work incredibly slow got boring after a couple of years. I got into trouble with some of the old timers for fixing stuff too fast and they told me to slow down. So I used to get the schematics of every machine I worked on, then take an apprentice with me and sit down until lunch time and work out what the machine should do, then after lunch we would fix it. I enjoyed teaching young folk to think, and they seemed to like coming along with me, so much so that as they rotated through the sections each new apprentice would come and ask me if they could work with me. There were a lot of folk there who were there to retire and were hopeless at their job, so the apprentices wanted to work with tradesmen who would teach them. I spent most of my young years messing around in boats on Sydney harbour. Went past Cockatoo docks every time I went from Meadowbank where I launched the boat up the harbour to camp on one of the beaches for the weekend.
