AUSTRALIANA –

Every generation has its own particular childhood. The red brick childhood of the Baby Boomers, in the second half of the 1940s, 50s and 60s, with its inkwells, Saturday afternoon serials and Meccano sets has gone forever.

Read this book and relive your childhood. Experience the horror of your first dance. Taste the warm school milk. Feel the weight of your Globite school case.

As a Baby Boomer you had an extraordinary childhood. This book brings it all flooding back. Everything from Brylcream to Boleros, tadpole collecting, getting the cane at school and cracker night.

See your feet through the shoe shop’s x-ray machine. Fall off your two-wheeler again. Smell Mum’s chook cooking on Christmas Day.

The magic of your childhood hasn’t disappeared. It’s here.
