My Koala family from my childhood - Bingy (baby koala), Bang (mum koala) and Bong (father). Made from Kangaroo Fur these Koalas are pretty special to me. The smallest Koala is 'Bingy'. I received Bingy on my 1st Birthday and he was so so fluffy when I got him but over the years I slowly rubbed his fur off completely! Not something that would happen to the synthetic Koalas you can buy today! Bang has a pocket on the back to store money or small objects, and Bong plays Waltzing Matilda!!

We have just moved into this gorgeous 1940s-1950s rental property which is still in original condition - untouched with no nasty 1990s renovations. This is a rare find. The kitchen is so so cute with the original latches on the cupboard doors, a tiny sink, and marble design green bench tops.

The bathroom features original tiles, basin, bath and floor. It has taken a bit to get used to having a shower curtain again but we are managing. Lucky it's just the two of us as the old hot water service in the roof doesn't hold a great deal of water!!

Unfortunately, the green handbasin in the bathroom has a crack through it so it will need replacing at some stage soon. So if anyone has a similar basin they would like to part with in the same green then please let me know as we really want to preserve the retro ambiance of this property.

Denis and I went to the Port Adelaide Market today which is held every Sun and Monday. I was blown away by the size of this market. Held under cover this is the perfect year round market experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves collecting, and fossiking through 'brick-a-brack shops.

Many of the stalls sell retro and second-hand kitchenware, ornaments, records, books, furniture, old tin toys, tools, and clothing. I couldnt believe how much stuff was there... you really do need the whole day to explore this market!
