The year was 1971.
In this week's Our History, Our Memories photo gallery, we look back at life in the Manning during this by-gone year.
We have been delving into the Manning River Times photo archives and while every picture tells a story, sometimes the background to that story is lost.
Which is why we are asking our readers to help.
Do you recognise a face, a venue, an occasion?

Soak up the nostalgia. Feedback and shared memories are most welcome.
Visit the Manning River Times website at 6pm every Wednesday to view the latest photo gallery in the series.
