Remember when you'd wake each morning to the sounds of glass clinking as the milky delivered fresh bottles of milk or the banging and clanging of the metal bins made by the garbos running up and down the street for the weekly rubbish collection? Who recalls the weekly burn-off in the backyard incinerator, the outside lav down by the back fence, the chookhouse and swinging on the Hills Hoist. Were you part of Beatlemania when the famous foursome toured Australia in 1964, or have memories of Dennis Lillee delivering a stinging bouncer in World Series Cricket.
The author of Australia Remember When and the series of Remember When books again takes us on a nostalgic journey down memory lane in his latest book "Remember When...Snapshots of Australia". All new photos in a colourful fresh format crammed with memories of growing up in the baby boomer years. Here are the pictures and images of an Australia gone forever, lost in the mists of time but still in our hearts and memories.
Packed with almost 200 photographs, Remember When...Snapshots of Australia is a sugar hit of nostalgia over 250 pages long. An ideal gift at anytime of year.
Bob Byrne has had a long media career in both radio and as a writer. He runs the popular Australia Remember When Facebook page and is a best-selling author. This is his seventh book.

I bought this book for a friends' 50th anniversary gift. They loved the book, full of praise for photos and stories remembering their younger days
I got this book as a gift for my mother and she was thrilled and read it quickly.
I bought this book for my husband's 71st birthday last month. He finished reading it a few days ago and loved it. Not only the nostalgia, but he also learned some facts about various people and places. Thoroughly enjoyable.
I bought Remember When as a gift for my wife's 70th birthday, just to remind her of what we have both lived through. Many forgotten memories have been stirred - its amazing the little things we forgot about while growing old !
This book covers all of Australia, so some of the content is foreign to us in WA. I would love to see the author produce a state by state version of Remember When.
Great book. Wonderful memories
This book bought back great memories. You look at something and think, I did that or saw that. Great to show the grandkids 😊
It was great showing my grandchildren what it was like (according to them) the olden days. They learnt that I did have a car lol and that we didn’t have mobile phones
Love reading Boomer in the Advertiser, and this is a culmination of it all. We remember so much of the things covered in the book and are so pleased that we purchased it. Thank you.
Very disappointing
Fabulous fast service...much appreciated. Book was smaller than expected, but was of good quality with great photos
This. Book is great. . Pictures are clear the article that goes with the picture gives a decent explanation that's not too long. Excellent for the grandkids to browse through & hopefully understand what times used to be like
