Growing Up in the 60s скачать fb2

From life in small New South Wales country towns to the glitter of Sydney, this memoir explores life in a changing Australia, from age 7 to 17. Especially written and recorded for ABC radio, this book evokes an innocent Australia through a quietly comic delivery, where we witness again holidays in quiet seaside villages, the days when newspapers were king, Decimal Currency Day was a big thing and Beatles haircuts were all the rage. When teenagers were inspired by pop music to a fresh idealism, protest and groovy gear. When man walked on the moon. A journey through the drama and excitement of an Australia now known only by memory. This is the first publication of <b><i>Growing Up in the 60s</i></b> as broadcast on ABC&apos;s <i>Nightlife </i>several times, and on many ABC regional stations including Broken Hill, Wagga Wagga, Camberra, Upper Hunter, Tamworth and Darwin.<br /> <br /><i>If you remember UV lights, if you loved Easy Rider, if you still know the words to Norwegian Wood and once had a poster of Che Guevara on your bedroom wall – in other words, if you grew up in Australia in the 1960s – you will get a lot of fun with Tom Thompson&apos;s book. It is funny and astute and wonderfully nostalgic.</i><br />– Jane Cadzow, <i>The Australian</i>
