The Sixties
With great wit and irony and with no insight whatsoever, popular ABC radio personality Eoin Cameron recalls the people, fashions, films, in fact everything that made the Sixties such a fabulous decade.
The Voice of the Great South
Following on from the hugely popular Rolling Into the World, this is the second instalment of ABC radio personality Eoin Cameron's memoirs. Packed with highs, lows and hilarious adventures, The Voice of the Great Southbegins with Eoin as a mishap-prone sixteen year old on a farm in Albany, traces his early life in radio in the Southwest and the ABC in Perth, and ends with his entry into federal parliament in 1993.
Rolling Into the World
A famous trick of the Cameron kids, not at all appreciated by the projectionist at the old Beachport hall, was our very early version of a backward "Mexican wave". We'd occupy the front row of the wooden benches, then just as "God Save the Queen" struck up, we'd simultaneously throw ourselves backwards. The domino effect was nothing short of spectacular. There'd be three or four rows of upturned benches with kids yelling and carrying on, arms and legs sticking up everywhere. Further back the grown-ups would be "tut tutting" and making remarks about "badly brought up children". We soon abandoned this stunt however, fun and all as it was, after getting banned from the pictures for a week.

Sweet Sorrow
This remarkable book-at times heart-breaking, at times humorous-is dazzling for its profound honesty. Like most of us, Mark Wakely had always put death in the too-hard basket. Around death he was painfully awkward, strangely self-conscious: death-shy. He was curiously distanced from his own parents' deaths. Thirty years later, he went on a journey to confront one of the most intensely personal yet universal experiences: our own mortality. With Mark as our guide, we are introduced to morticians and embalmers, rabbis and doctors, coffin makers and gravediggers. He reveals the fashions and the fads, the rituals and the deep emotion in a heartfelt and whimsical investigation into this timeless subject. All you need to pack for the trip is a curiosity about life.
Changing Stations
Following the development of the most pervasive medium in Australia, this is the first full-scale, national history of the country's commercial radio. From the experiments and schemes of the 1920s through the introduction of digital radio in 2009, this sweeping study moves from Sydney to Adelaide, Launceston to Cairns, Broken Hill to Albany. Exploring the varied programming genres of drama, music, quiz shows, sports, and politics, the in-depth research traces the engagement of commercial radio with various communities of Australian listeners. In addition, many of the iconic names of Australian radio are featured, including George Edwards, Grace Gibson, Jack Davey, Bob Dyer, Bob Rogers, Norman Banks, Andrea, Brian White, John Laws, and Alan Jones.
So Many Firsts
Inspiring and informative, So Many Firsts examines the political lives of women in the Liberal Party from Enid Lyons to today.Annabelle Rankin, Margaret Guilfoyle, Helen Coonan and Julie Bishop are among the pioneering women who achieved so many firsts in their achievements as women, and for women.They had many hurdles to overcome - including the long fight to extend child endowment, the battle to remove the legislative barriers to married women working in the public service, equal work, equal opportunity and equal pay - along with the notion that they could do more than only represent women's issues. In 1948, The Mail helpfully declared of Senator Annabelle Rankin: "She tackles men's problem's too".In the Turnbull era, women are occupying many of Party's key positions, and continue to applying their spirit and talent to achieving even more firsts for the nation.
