Publishers Description: The Australian city of Toowoomba has a rich, varied and exciting history. In 1960 the restless youth of this conservative country outpost shook the place awake. For a decade and a half they and others- young entrepreneurs and long-established family businesses- explored, revelled in, and propelled a popular culture revolution to heights that no aspiring Australian provincial city could imagine was possible. What happens when a couple of fellas who were 'there', get 60 or so people who were also there, to recount their experiences and hand over their scrapbooks? We are entertained, informed and amused by priceless first-hand recollections and tales. Hundreds of images courtesy of amateur and professional photographers, and selected from family albums and diverse memorabilia, expose the lives and times in exquisite detail. This is an outstanding collection that enriches the historical record and provides hours of interest and enjoyment for anyone who likes a good read or enjoys a wonderful pictorial.
