![]() ![]() ![]() In The Land Before Avocado, Richard Glover takes a journey to an almost unrecognisable Australia. ![]() There’s plenty of nostalgia right now for the Australia of the past, but what was it really like? ![]() The Land Before Avocado by Richard Glover The official blurb reads like this:Ī funny and frank look at the way Australia used to be – and just how far we have come. Mainly for the better I will add! I can’t wait to give it to my daughters to read, they probably won’t believe half of it. I enjoyed his research findings and thinking about the way things have changed in the decades since the 1960s. Richard Glover has covered so much in this book, attitudes to women, parenting styles, food, anyone who was different, politics, history…the list is endless. I enjoyed this book and kept reading interesting bits out to my husband, before he told me that he’d read it himself, so could I not share all the good bits along the way!Īs a child during the years of this book, 1960s and 70s, I remember lots of these happenings, but with perspective and age now, it appears they perhaps weren’t quite the heady days we remember. Was there really a time before Avocados? Yes apparently there was such a time, can you even imagine it? ![]()
