Sort of a Place like Home Remembering the Moore River Native Settlement

A famous trick of the Cameron kids, not at all appreciated by the projectionist at the old Beachport hall, was our very early version of a backward "Mexican wave". We'd occupy the front row of the wooden benches, then just as "God Save the Queen" struck up, we'd simultaneously throw ourselves backwards. The domino effect was nothing short of spectacular. There'd be three or four rows of upturned benches with kids yelling and carrying on, arms and legs sticking up everywhere. Further back the grown-ups would be "tut tutting" and making remarks about "badly brought up children". We soon abandoned this stunt however, fun and all as it was, after getting banned from the pictures for a week.Cameron, Eoin is the author of 'Sort of a Place like Home Remembering the Moore River Native Settlement' with ISBN 9781920731069 and ISBN 1920731067.
