Customer Reviews

This is one of my all time favourite books. One of the rare books that makes me laugh out loud. It might help that I'm a Queenslander and the places are very familiar to me but I'd be surprised if that is necessary to thoroughly enjoy the read.

Great look at 50's Brisbane life through the eyes of a kid

This book was a great read, especially for an Aussie, and provided a great look at 50's Australia. This book is autobiographical, and Hugh Lunn really know how to let us into his head, and he definitely isn't afraid to pull any punches. It is amazing to see how far we have come. With plenty of historical info, as well as a few good laughs, I recommend this book.
