***Preorder only - stock expected mid-June*** Book; Photos and Memories of Australia from the 1970s (Author signed copy)

***Preorder only - stock expected to ship in mid-June*** Peace, Love and War This is the story of Australia's most turbulent and transformative decade through the eyes of the people who lived through it. From the fall of a government to the fall of a space station, this nostalgic and historic journey captures what life was really like for ordinary Australians during the 1970s. From fish and chips wrapped in newspaper to the arrival of fast food, from red phone boxes to colour television, these are the stories of a nation finding its voice. Relive the drama of the Whitlam years and the Dismissal that divided a country, the shock of Granville and the heartbreak of the Montreal Olympics, the thrill of Countdown on a Saturday night, and the revolution Kerry Packer brought to cricket under floodlights. Meet the butchers, the tea ladies, the kids who roamed free until the streetlights came on, and the Vietnamese families who arrived with nothing and built everything. Whether you were born in the 1970s or grew up, went to school, got your first job, got married and started a family, this is your story, these are your memories. Through personal memories and carefully researched stories, this book brings to life the decade that changed Australia forever — when we went metric, went colour, found our voice, and grew up.
