How I became a Fettler in 1964

How I became a Fettler in 1964

by Rob Bell

My name is Rob Bell, and I was born in East Bankstown (later Greenacre) in 1945, into a solid working-class family. By 1964, 5 years after leaving Punchbowl Boys High, I was requested by the local gendarmes to leave town. This was also issued to many of my friends who, like myself, travelled down the wrong roadway.

A friend who had been off the scene for a while was back in town and was going on about working on the railway as a fettler in a place called Burren Junction. Where the hell is B.J., we all cried, North West NSW, have you heard of Walgett? Well, it's this side of Walgett, and they are looking for workers.

So come Monday, we all troop down to Central Station (about 6 of us) for a medical and get the guts on this Fettler business. Being good, strong Aussie boys with an average age of around 20, we were in. Some of us were sent to Cryon and others to BJ.

How to Choose Travel Gear That’s Gentle on Your Back – A Guide for Business Travelers

Business traveller walking with a wheeled suitcase and carrying a leather messenger bag, showcasing ergonomic travel gear for comfort and ease.

Choosing the right travel gear is not just about packing for success—it's about preserving your well-being. 

As a business traveller, your luggage is not just a container for your clothes; it's a part of your daily wear, impacting your posture, your pace, and your comfort. 

Let's unpack the essentials of selecting gear that protects your back, ensuring every trip is as pain-free as possible.

1. Prioritise Ergonomic Design

The foundation of any travel gear should be its ergonomics. 

Opt for backpacks with padded, adjustable straps that offer lumbar support, or suitcases with handles that adjust to keep your posture upright. These ergonomically designed gear pieces adapt to the contour of your back, distributing weight evenly to minimise strain. 

"Ergonomic features are essential for long-term spinal health," experts at Active Back Care might say, as these designs are integral to preventing relapse and ensuring ongoing back care.

2. Choose Lightweight Materials

Every extra pound can be a burden on your spine. 

Select travel gear made from advanced, lightweight materials like high-tech polymers or carbon fibre. These materials reduce the base weight you'll carry, allowing you to pack more without overloading.

Lighter doesn't mean less durable. Modern materials offer resilience without the weight, so your back doesn't bear the brunt of heavy traditional materials.

3. Look for Smart Compartments

A well-organised bag can dramatically improve how weight is carried. 

Choose luggage with multiple compartments designed to balance the load. This way, you can distribute your belongings evenly, maintaining stability and reducing the risk of back pain.

Compartmentalisation helps in more ways than one. It not only keeps your items secure and accessible but also prevents the uneven distribution of weight that can lead to postural imbalances.

4. Seek Adjustable Features

Adjustability is key in travel gear. 

Backpacks and suitcases with adjustable features can be customised to fit your body perfectly, enhancing comfort and support. 

Features like telescoping handles or adjustable back systems ensure that your luggage rolls smoothly and adjusts to your height and body type.

Customisation can be the difference between a painful trip and a pleasant one. Ensure your gear can be tweaked to suit your needs, giving you a personal fit that supports your back.

5. Opt for 360-Degree Wheels

For rolling luggage, choose models with 360-degree wheels. These wheels provide superior manoeuvrability, allowing you to navigate crowded airports and city streets with ease.

Smooth rolling is crucial, especially when you're moving quickly through tight spaces; it reduces the effort needed to transport your luggage and helps maintain your natural posture.

6. Consider Multi-Handle Designs

Luggage that offers multiple handle options can significantly ease the load on your back. 

Having the ability to switch how you pull or lift your gear can prevent repetitive strain and distribute the physical effort required throughout different muscle groups.

Multiple handles mean versatility in handling, which is particularly useful in crowded or irregular travel situations, giving you options to carry your luggage in whichever way is most comfortable at the moment.

A Smart Pack for the Smart Traveler

Selecting the right travel gear is a strategic decision that impacts not just your travel experience but your health. 

As you prepare for your next business adventure, remember: the best travel gear makes the journey as rewarding as the destination, keeping you pain-free and ready to tackle whatever comes your way.
