Popular Post MoeFOH Posted April 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2019 Just started reading this. It's basically all about the author, Richard Glover, trying to rediscover the Australia of his childhood--the late 60s and 70s. A very, shall we say, "raw" time in this country's short history. The theme immediately captured my interest (I was hatched in 1974). Going by the excerpt below from the foreword and a pic I flipped to further on in the book, this should be a very enjoyable ride! 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainQuintero Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Great story, even though the ending worked out ok it struck me as terribly sad. It's strange to see how far we've come in so many aspects of life, but the type of people who gravitate to power, no matter how small, seem to be exactly the same. What part of themselves were they missing back then, to behave like that, that is still unfulfilled now in modern life? The little Hitler's of our world certainly arn't a dying breed. I try to keep myself away from those types, too much living to do without having to deal with that much negativity, but it still shocks you when you do come into contact with them. Bizarre really when you take a step back for a second and try to figure out their mindset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Hayes Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 That last pic looks familiar. When I was a kid in the 70's my father would burn off all the fallen leaves in a 44 gallon drum and we listened to the footy on the radio while I kicked a footy around the backyard commentating to myself. The smell of leaves burning still brings back those memories - when you didn't need much technology to be entertained. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
