Born in 1967? What Else Happened? The Australian Social History Book

Born in 1967? What Else Happened? The Australian Social History Book

Postcodes were introduced, and you could pay your debts with a new five-dollar note. You could talk-back on radio, about a brand new ABC show called “This Day Tonight.” There was no point in talking any more to the Privy Council. Unemployment was at 1.8 per cent. Getting a job was easy. Arthur Calwell left at last. Whitlam took his place. The Labor Party was about to be re-born. Harold Holt drowned, and Menzies wrote his first book in retirement.

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.
