Collecting badges and pins

Tweet

I have been doing a little exploring arouns my own state of Victoria here in Australia lately and I have notices how country towns these days don't seem to have collectables of their towns anymore..in my younger days I collected cloth badges and pins and stickers from every plave I visited, I travelled around New Zealand and collected a sticker for my suitcase from every town I visited, I loved that suitcase of memories, until someone broke into my house years later and took my suitcase to load all my things into...but collecting these things was part of the fun of travelling and I thought how sad today that only the big tourist places have things like this to collect...
