This is a series of books about life in Australia – one for each year from 1939. They describe happenings that affected people, real people. The whole series, to coin a modern phrase, is designed to push your buttons, to make you remember and wonder at things forgotten.
The books might just let nostalgia see the light of day, so that oldies and youngies will talk about the past and re-discover a heritage otherwise forgotten. Hopefully, they will spark discussions between generations, and foster the asking and answering of questions that should not remain unanswered.
In 1954, Queen Elizabeth II was sent here victorious, Petrov was our very own spy – what a thrill. Boys were being sentenced to life. Johnny Ray cried all the way to the bank. Church halls were being used for dirty dancing. Open the pubs after six? Were they ever shut? A-bombs had scardies scared.

I bought 2 more of the birthday year books, and as usual great books, good quality, they were well packed and quick delivery, thanks 👍
I brought this for mother in laws Birthday in March she absolutely loved it.
It’s ok interesting, would have been better with a few photo put in .
I love history and that would include photos of those eras! It was written in a block style with no flow. So much has missed the mark and I bought one for each of my 5 siblings. Much smaller than I envisaged too but that didn’t overly bother me.
Hubby is very pleased with the book. In the process of reading it atm.
This is the 2nd book I have bought, and the other recipient was very happy with theirs too.
Thanks for the comprehensive information in the books.
