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 1972, it was ‘Time’ for a change in Federal Government as Whitlam brought Labor back from the dead, and in our relations with China, “Number 96” won the TV credits, women got equal pay for equal work, and call-up of Nashos ended.
