What was life like for ordinary working-class children living in the suburbs or on the fringes of Australian cities in the early 1900s? How different or similar was their day to yours?
Step into the shoes of the Youngein children, Jim and Dolly, from Susannah Place, Sydney and find out how they lived.
When you wake up in the morning, do you sometimes lie in bed listening to the various sounds around your home and on the streets? What are some of the noises you hear early in the morning where you live?
Compare the sounds you hear in the mornings with the sounds the Youngeins would have heard in the early 1900s. See if you can find some similarities and differences.
