My mate lives in Beveridge and one morning we were hungover and he wanted ducks for tea.I worked on the Barwon river in an engineering shop while waiting for some national service medical stuff so around 1970 roughly and had watched a mountain duck swimming around most of the afternoon.I think we knocked off at 5pm and I was living in Belmont,I pulled up on the Belmont bridge got the 22 off the back seat of Holden plugged the duck got back in turned around and drove back down to the river bank stripped to my jocks swam out retrieved my dinner and drove home.Try doing that now.![]()
So we pulled up at a neighbours dam and he got out in bare feet and his rifle and blew a couple away.
Only a couple of years ago.
