Description: Offers a unique snapshot of 1950s Australian bohemian life. Written against the backdrop of an Australia easily caricatured as dull and provincial, straightjacketed by suburban convention and paranoia, this is one of the most evocative, and certainly most comprehensive, Australian diaries of modern times.
