Remember childhood visits to the Adelaide Zoo with a ride in the elephant cart? School lunches and a glass bottle of sun-warmed milk? spending Saturday night at Downtown or Tilt to play arcade games or go rollerskating? rides at Magic Mountain or Dazzleland, dances at local clubs with local bands, early TV shows and sleeping on the lawn on a hot Adelaide summer night? Adelaide Remember When is the city we remember, in pictures and words. The best of Bob Byrne's hit Facebook page and much more, Adelaide Remember When is a bumper book that shows us bits of Adelaide we've forgotten, local identities and landmarks we loved and reminds us that the best parts of the city haven't changed.

Worthwhile if born from 1950’s

Have to say a magic flashback to my early memories of life in the 50’s and 60’s as a war child! Great pics to trigger those memories. Also, special commendation to Alison who followed up a stuff up by Australia Post/ Pay Pal re initial delivery.

As time passes you by, your memories of past events and places fade.
These books spark memories of times and places that you’ve experienced through life.
Perhaps even events that happened before your time?
