The History Girls: Australia (and my family) from the 1920s - Gillian Polack

http://the-history-girls.blogspot.com/2015/08/australian-and-my-family-from-1920s.html

Dad died in 1988, but a whole group of his friends died this year, in their early 90s. The last of his generation is fading. Victorian rural house, 1970s. I was born in the year between the Baby Boom and the nex...
