YEAR BOOK 1949 - WHAT ELSE HAPPENED?

In 1949, the Reds in China could rest from their Long March, and the Reds in Australia took a battering in the pits. The rabbits ruled the paddocks, and some Churches suffered from outbreaks of dirty dancing and housie. Immigration Minister Calwell crudely enforced the White Australia Policy, so that huge crowds on the beaches were nervous about getting a tan. There was plenty of petrol for motorists in NZ and Britain, but not here, so Bob Menzies cruised to another election win over Labor.

Each book meticulously crafted to delve into the remarkable events that shaped the lives of real people. These thought-provoking books are not only intended to ignite a sense of wonder for forgotten times, but also to spark engaging conversations between generations about our shared history and heritage.
