Rockin’, Rollin’, Hair and Hippies

OUT OF PRINT

Rockin', Rollin', Hair and Hippies

By Jackie French About · Illustrated by Peter Sheehan

World War II was over, and it was a good time to be Australian. Rock ‘n’ roll, television and the Olympics had come down under. But underneath it all was the menace of the Cold War, and then came the horrors of Korea and Vietnam. Why couldn’t we all just get along? Covers a pivotal time in Australia’s history, as ideologies clashed and a new national identity was evolving.
