"Time travel" in Wing Hing Long
General stores were once to be found in most Australian country towns, selling everything from ladies' underwear to groceries and hardware. They've all now gone, as a result of supermarkets and improved transport. I'll confess to being taken back to my younger years when I walked inside and saw the shelves of groceries and such (PiPs 2 and 3). It's good that this has been preserved as a museum.
How many of you remember the old "cash carrier" flying fox devices, where payments were fired in a cassette along a wire to a cashier's office? The sending device for that is visible in PiP2 and PiP3 - these predated cash registers.

Yes, I remember the cash carriers !!!!
I have never seen a "fly box" before but I've seen plenty of the vacuum shoots or whatever they're called, where you put money in a canister, put it in the tube and it shoots along a series of tubes into the manager's office or wherever it's directed to. It's a great system and always fun to watch the cannisters zooming on their way! :)
What treasures we could find in these jumbles of goods! The creaking floor, the smell of the wood, cloth, dust, candy, everything...
AND those under garments
Would you believe I wore such structures as a teenager?!
Thank goodness women are no longer so constricted.
:)
