Born in 1965? What Else Happened? The Australian Social History Book

Born in 1965? What Else Happened? The Australian Social History Book

Is the woman’s place in the home? Winston Churchill died. Maybe we should cancel Anzac Day marches. Freedom Rides were exposing the treatment of Aborigines. Hemlines are going up, exposing spiritual knees and legs. Dawn Fraser took the flag in Japan, Mavis Bramston was staged, and ball-point pens were not coming to a school near you. Alphabet soup was filling bowls, and school projects were irritating.

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.
