AUSTRALIANA –
This is the quintessential reference to the decade in which Australia shed the cultural cringe. The Sydney Push. The Iconic Yellow House. UBU Films.
An amazing technicolour journey through 60’s Sydney. Albie Thoms and his fellow home grown radicals–Germaine Greer, Robert Hughes, Martin Sharp, Phillip Noyce, Meredith Burgmann, Wendy Bacon, Mungo McCallum, Liz Fell, Richard Neville, and more who fill these pages–were at the vanguard of Australia’s cultural coming of age. MY GENERATION is the quintessential reference to the decade in which Australia shed the cultural cringe. The Sydney Push. The Iconic Yellow House. UBU Films. Oz Magazine. All were the launching pad for a new generation to challenge the conservative, stultified monoculture. Set in the context of the sexual revolution, Women’s and Gay Liberation, Aboriginal Rights to Struggles, the anti-Vietnam war movement, hippies, drugs, psychedelic parties and Happenings. MY GENERATION is Albie Thoms’ definitive account of a major turning point in the cultural life of Australia.
