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 1958, the Christian brothers bought a pub and raffled it; some clergy thought that Christ would not be pleased. Circuses were losing animals at a great rate. Officials were in hot water because the Queen Mother wasn’t given a sun shade. School milk was hot news, bread home deliveries were under fire.

It’s so interesting to see what happened the year I was born, it’s unbelievable
Very happy with the books. Very well written and presented.
I’m very disappointed with the book. It is much smaller than what I expected and a definite lack of photos
I bought this book as a gift and after a quick flip through the contents it appears to be an interesting book. It’s not exactly what I was expecting but I’m sure the recipient will enjoy it
Purchased the 1958 year edition for y husband and the 1960 for me.
We loved the! Full of interesting facts that we were not aware of! Ideal gift ideas
