I made this slideshow to celebrate the fortieth wedding anniversary of my older brother, Michael, and his wife, Wendy, in 2006. It was a great hit with the family at the time. It had terrific memories. But now, 20 years later, when Michael and Wendy are in their eighties, and I’m eighty next July, the slideshow has so much more significance. It now shows a way of life and its ambience that has almost disappeared. It’s still a lot of fun, but now it is tinged with nostalgia for a time in Australia that is drifting into the nation’s forgetfulness.

We were in our mid-twenties when the 1960s Revolution hit in Sydney. In this slideshow, one can see the background of the novels in my Sixties Series, especially in Books 3, 4, 5, and 6 to come.
