Summers Past: Golden Days in the Sun 1950-70
11 Feb 2010 - 28 Mar 2010

For those who grew up in Australia in the 1950s and 1960s, this travelling exhibition from the National Archives of Australia should gently stir memories of idyllic summers spent by the beach.

 

The 75 images selected from thousands of photographs encapsulate summer in the 50s and 60s, and vividly recall our enduring love affair with the sun and the sea.
