Born in 1958? What Else Happened? The Australian Social History Book

Born in 1958? What Else Happened? The Australian Social History Book

The Christian brothers bought a pub and raffled it; some clergy thought that Christ would not be pleased. The Queen Mother wasn’t given a sunshade; it didn’t worry the lined-up school children, they just fainted as normal. School milk was hot news though home deliveries of ice was forgotten. Ron Williams’ daughter made the cover of this book also.

The books were written by Ron Williams who studied the newspapers day-by-day for a particular year, and then condensed the information into a book for that year.

The books are all A5, black and white, with interesting colour covers. There are no charts or graphs or heavy debate. Just facts and opinions and lots of absurd and bold comments. Very nostalgic, a bit irreverent, for the older reader.

They make great gifts for CHRISTMAS, birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and the like.
