Memories of going on holidays as a kid, Baby Boomer Style. Experiencing things like toilets on passenger trains for the very first time, going to the original theme park of the day "Bullen's Lion Safari Park" and generally larking about on Holidays, as opposed to Real Life. Travelling alone, bad flights, above ground pools, friends, family and lots of eccentrics, it's all here, wonderful stuff!! ( ) no reviews | add a review
Remember those long, languid holidays when the only decisions to be made were what to pack in the Esky and who should get the front seat on the drive to the beach? Let William McInnes reignite your nostalgia for holidays past, and give you a taste of the boundless opportunities that await in holidays to come in this book about our love affair with life away from the everyday. This book will take you back to the holidays you had as a kid and remind you of the ones you've had with your own family or friends or even the ones where you've flown solo. Holidays are the runway to possibilities - a romantic sunset, the spare seat at breakfast being taken by an attractive stranger, a miraculous airline upgrade - or missing bags, unfortunate rashes and wrong turns that lead to places you definitely did not intend to go. Whether you are away from home and somewhere exotic or just in your own backyard on a lilo in an above-ground pool, whatever happens, you know that life is sweet because you're on Holidays. Whatever kind of holiday you've got planned, make sure you pack this warm and funny celebration of Australia's favourite national pastime. No library descriptions found. |
