You could hang ropes on them and make a great tree swing...play Tarzan(well the boys could).
Many happy hours were spent on rope swings...that, building dens and bogeys(they weren't green and slimy). They had wheels on(usually pinched from an old pram) and if you took one to the top of Carter Street you could achieve a fine rate of knots by the time you reached Victoria Street on the 'factory bottom'.
This was real exhilarating fun, and it was healthy(well, it was unless you met a bus on Victoria Street)because you had to drag the bogey back up to the top of the hill to do it all over again...many many times.
