Australia Remember This Too! is a photographic celebration of nostalgia, particularly for Baby Boomers, 114,000 of whom follow the 'Australia Remember When' Facebook page, sharing their photos and memories.
Remember Mike Willesee's A Current Affair from the '70s? Fairy bread with hundreds and thousands at every birthday party? Remember takeaway fish and chips with lots of salt and vinegar and Dad carefully dividing a brick of ice cream into equal portions to go with Mum’s homemade preserved peaches? Oh, sweet memories! Take a wonderfully sentimental trip down memory lane with Bob Byrne as he shows us bits of Australia we’d forgotten, identities and landmarks we loved and let him remind us that some of the best things about Australia haven’t changed.
Including the best of Bob Byrne's hit Facebook page and much more, Australia Remember This Too! is a trip back in time which will at once bring a smile to your face, cause a lump in your throat and bring a tear to your eye! Enjoy the memories!
Reviews:
'Enjoy hours reminiscing on Christmas Day about the Coles Cafeteria, Mello Yello yo-yos, Professor Julius Sumner Miller, Nintendo’s original handheld Game & Watch and Singer sewing machines. A terrific time capsule.' — The Herald Sun
