The paper boy threw that newspaper as hard and as quietly as he could — the dog was waiting…
It didn’t matter if this was in the early years or the years just gone by, the paper boy was an important fellow. But so was the newsagency.
Bunyip’s newsagency goes back a long way, with people like Wal Vine and Bill Bennetts (whose young son fell through the glass window in 1947 — he got stitched up). But just like all the other Main Street businesses, there’s history — some known very well, but a lot not known.
For today, I remember the Drennans and the Jarmans. Karen Drennan, the newsagent’s daughter, went to Bunyip Girl Guides with me. Then there was Mindy Jarman — her parents too were newsagents.
Later down the street, at number 18, you would find newsagents Frank and Anne, and then Joe and Carmela.
Bunyip was lucky to have a place where you could buy not only newspapers and magazines, but also stamps, lollies, toys, train tickets, smokes , writing paper, pens, pencils, envelopes and all what you needed for school or work
