OLD SALT AMY RETURNS HOME

for Colour City’s Anzac Day — DAVID DIXON —

Amy Searle loves Anzac Day, memorably “misplacing” her family’s medals at one event as a child.

T

he RAN Chief Petty Officer and Colour City local initially chose the Royal Australian Navy over the Army due to her colour preferences, rather than any maritime links in her past.

But after a number of postings in the Gulf and as part of Australia’s sovereign borders operations, she’s now an “old salt” who loves her life of duty and adventure on the high seas.

“I’m Orange born-and-bred, Canobolas and Orange High, I have no military background, but always came to Anzac Day,” she explained.

“I remember I lost my grandfather’s medals; I was probably about 10-yearsof age. We eventually found them in the leaves,” Amy laughingly recalls.

GARY BLOWES Director 0418 635 248 Commercial Sales + Leasing

Her near two decades serving her country though, was initially determined by colour schemes, and not career choices.

“It was always the Navy I was going to join; I didn’t like the brown uniforms of the Army. Until I joined, I’d never even seen a warship,” she said.

“I now love the sea, being at sea… I’ve been in 17 years on quite a few Anzac Class warships and Armidale Class patrol boats.”

Currently stationed at HMAS Stirling off Western Australia, she has previously fulfilled two deployments in the Persian Gulf as well as with border protection as part of Operation Resolute.

With the Navy taking part in rescuing many groups of asylum seekers on unseaworthy vessels, the work showed the important role that our armed forces now play in so many areas outside of their

traditional defensive duties.

“It was a very busy time, doing some really important stuff. Our armed forces have done a lot of humanitarian activities recently, helping flood-hit communities around the country,” Amy said.

It is this sense of common purpose and camaraderie that she finds most gratifying about her vocation.

“We’re highly trained and highly skilled and it’s our lives… it’s being part of a team,” she said.

“We’ve got to rely on each other and it’s the people that you work with, that make it so enjoyable.”

Despite her years of service, she said that her feelings for Anzac Day are largelyunchanged from when she was a child, although this year she did the reading at the Dawn Service in Orange.

“They’re probably the same emotions, actually. It’s a privilege to honour those who served their country, many who never came back.

“It’s an emotional day for everyone, and it’s so good to see everyone at home as well.”

Although now stationed over the other side of the country nearly 3700km away, she tries to make it back each year with her twins, Harvey and Lucy, for this most special of days for those who always supported her dream.

“I come back for the family, it’s nice to be able to see me… they’ve always been 100 per cent supportive of my decision to join,” she said.

“I’ve never regretted that decision, not ever,” Chief Petty Officer, Amy Searle concluded.

history talking | OCLife with HELEN MCNULTY

Some time ago, I was pushing my trolley along the aisle of a supermarket, trying to decide what I might need for the following week. The whole place hummed with activity and noise. Under the cunningly placed spotlights, fruit and vegetables looked fresh and dewy; the cuts of meat looked temptingly succulent and the fish gleamed as if they were just out of the water.

The checkouts were shepherding customers through with their goods, while the queues grew longer, ever longer.

Suddenly everything changed.

The place became strangely silent.

People stopped in their tracks and the light faded to murky dusk, while the air, which had been delightfully cool, became thick and stuffy.

Customers gazed at each other in disbelief as if their world had been turned upside down.

There was a blackout!

Of course, it wasn't long before order was restored, the electricity came back on and life, as we have come to know it, continued.

But it made me think about the days when we were not so reliant on the magic of new technology and most of the energy we used was engendered by our own effort.

much faster, he told us.

While we lamented the passing of the old cash register, he reminded us of all the things the new technology can do — and in a much shorter time.

"Enormous amounts of data can be stored on electronic equipment," he said.

Shopping out catalogues which enabled country customers to keep up with what was available and to arrange to have the goods dispatched.

"It also provided great reading material for families who lived in the bush like we did," said Dot feelingly.

Both Dick and Audrey were fascinated with the pneumatic tube device which propelled documents and the money, in a container, over a wire right into the hands of the cashier who was generally perched in a high office above the customers' heads.

With this in mind, I suggested to the Oral History Group that we should look back at shopping in days gone by.

Bill remembered the butchers' shops with water cascading down the inside of the windows which, he said, served a double purpose of keeping the meat cool and killing flies.

As usual, we allowed ourselves the luxury of wallowing in the past!

There were other clever inducements to shoppers, as Mick revealed.

"My mother used to take me to David Jones in Sydney many years ago," said Owen. “It was probably in the early 1930s.

"When I worked at Western Stores they would grind up coffee on Friday night and spread it on the floor behind the counter so that there was a wonderful aroma."

“She would sit on a chair at the counter while the assistants showed her various things she might want to buy. There was even a floorwalker to direct people to the right department."

The big department stores used to send

We thought longingly of the more gracious service and the slower tempo of shopping and Gary reminded us of the changes in workers' conditions and pay and the longer hours in which shops are open.

"It would not be feasible to operate as it was done in the past," he said. "Costs are much greater and prices would have to be much higher.

it up in brown paper, tied with a string in which he would cleverly make a loop for you to carry it home on your finger.

“When I first started we did all our own buying, but now it is all centralised in Melbourne.."

The milkman delivered milk to your door and filled the billy which had been left out the night before. There seemed to be no worry about contamination in those days and we seemed to have survived pretty well.

We wondered, rather naively, why we in Orange see summer clothes for sale when the weather is still freezing, but have to be content with the fact that the people in Melbourne are now making those decisions for us.

We also remembered, with some nostalgia, when our order was taken at our door by the grocer and delivered the next day right into our kitchen, as happened to Pat, who lived just across the street from the shop.

Leslye recalled the time when the shops used to shut for an hour for lunch and life seemed to be lived at a much slower pace.

One of our group, Gary, who had experience at Myers Department Store in Orange, was able to pull the Oral History group out of the past with his view of the present.

Everyone talked of the old "corner shop", where, as Pat said, "you could buy a big bag of broken biscuits for a penny".

He reminded us that, while we were nostalgic about home deliveries, this is now happening when you order online and your goods are brought to your door in almost the same way.

You could also ask for your order and watch the grocer weigh it out and wrap

Catalogues, which we loved so much, are now on the Internet and the service is

According to Gary, shoppers are not interested in buying summer clothes after the season starts.

While the Oral History group looked sadly back at the days of our youth, we realised that people's needs and desires have changed enormously.

We no longer want clothes to last for years, items are superseded rapidly and technology, as in almost every avenue of life, is a catalyst for change.

As John said: "We are paying the penalty of progress — we cannot go back, we have to go with it."

We may have to do that, but we can remember a more gracious time and we miss it!
