Summary

Take a trip down memory lane with Bob Byrne … Remember loading up the back of the car and heading away with the family over the summer holidays? Being part of Beatlemania when the group toured in ’ 64? Watching Dennis Lillie deliver a stinging bouncer in World Series Cricket. Heading to the drive-in on a Saturday night? Or buying a bag of mixed lollies from the corner shop? Packed with over 180 photographs, Remember When… is a sugar hit of nostalgia that reminds us of the bits of Australia we loved, the bits we’ ve forgotten, and the unforgettable local identities and landmarks of yesteryear.
