Here's a bunch of Grandad photos and one Dad photo. Grandad used to shoot quite a bit with his Kodak Retina apparently.

Living in the very remote north-west Queensland there were animals around:

And a orphaned joey who was the family pet:

Grandma in full 1950's mode, rad frames:

And the dad photo, he and his best mate shooting each other, in full 1970's Aussie bloke mode:

Going through old Dad photos and this one came up, I just can't stop laughing every time I see it, at least I know my Dad kept his sense of humour bringing up his five kids:

Here's a slice of life from the 70's in Perth and Melbourne, hopefully there a little bit interesting:

Crazy Uncle:

Dad's sweet Torana, 3rd one in the state, which he rolled at some point:

Rad hair all round:

Smashing some Emu Export while doing burn outs in the dunes:

Parents first home I think, just gotta wait for the neighbours:

Smashing more beers, and getting in on that cigarette advertising:

The Uncle who took a lot of these shots with his Pentax ME Super, which he handed on to me, which still works!:

Really nice thread.
I scanned some of my belated grandparents prints earlier this year, that some of you might enjoy.

My grandfather was working for some time on Svalbard, here my grandmother is visiting him.

Grandfather in his Svalbard office. My personal favorite of these.

These are my favorites, I have a few more if people are keen.
