Summary The last 50 years have seen a profound change in the lives of ordinary Australians. Professor Blainey recalls a way of life that has gone - the world of his own childhood. The 1930s were the era of the steam train, the model T Ford and bustling country towns. In the space of a lifetime, all these have vanished. Blainey sets out to recapture this world and record the changes that have transformed our everyday lives. He recalls the days when a cyclist, not a cricketer, was our folk hero and the word 'teenager' did not exist.
