Overview

Do you remember the cold glass of a spider fizzing over your fingers? The sound of the Hamilton Beach mixer starting up? The smell of a hot pie warming behind the counter? Milk Bar Memories takes you back to the golden age of the Australian milk bar - from the day Mick Adams opened the world's first milk bar at Martin Place in 1932, through the chrome stools and jukebox afternoons of the 1950s and 1960s, to the Sunday mornings when the milk bar was the only shop open in the suburb. 125 giant print multiple-choice questions cover the lollies, the ice cream, the families behind the counter, the confectionery companies, the social history, and the moments that made the milk bar the heart of suburban Australia. Written in a peer-to-peer tone that respects your knowledge and your memories - not a textbook, but a conversation between people who were there. Every fact has been verified against historical records. No guesswork, no padding - just the real history of a world we remember with pride. Printed in giant print for comfortable reading. Perfect for anyone who grew up pointing at the lolly display, spending pocket money on mixed bags, and ordering a spider on a hot afternoon. A wonderful gift for parents, grandparents, and anyone who remembers the milk bar at the end of the street. From True North Publishing - History remembered with dignity.
