Ray Wright - 1930s

During the Great Depression, Dad found work delivering bread. He had grown-up on a rural property, so knew how to handle a horse and dray. He also found work at nearby Elanora Country Club at Ingleside. Though the Great Depression was raging throughout the land at the time, there were still a lot of rich people in Sydney, who would come to the Northern Beaches for the day and play a round of golf at the posh Elanora Country Club. Dad would return to his family with a few shillings at the end of a long day caddying for these rich city-slickers, while they adjourned to the bar at the clubhouse for whiskey and cigars.
