This bonus episode is Barney Gardner talking about growing up in a working class public housing community at Millers Point in Sydney. Barney describes with candour and humour a somewhat idyllic life right on Sydney Harbour. Barney's depiction of life at Millers Point starkly contrasts Millers Point today after the forced relocation of all the tenants there. It is now one of the wealthiest places in Australia and an AirBnB tourist destination.

This is the second episode about the forced relocation of public tenants at Millers Point. In this episode we hear from Barnie Gardner who has lived at Millers Point all his 77 years. Also with Barnie is Marie Sillars who also experienced the forced relocation of tenants at the Ivanhoe Estate in Macquarie Park, Sydney.
