Reminiscences of the First Baby Boomer
Using his own experiences, the author sets out to explode some myths perpetrated by later generations that Baby Boomers were an over-privileged, idle, self-indulgent generation that ruined the world. “If you remember the 60’s, you weren’t really there”. Fact or fiction? What role did they play in the transition of Australia from a White Australia, to the multi-cultural phenomenon of today? What influence did they exert on the then colonial territories of Papua and New Guinea in their successful transition onto today’s independent, modern society. Growing up in the Canberra region, spending early years at boarding schools at Galong and Inveralochy and much of his formative years in Papua New Guinea, Michael White explores how the Baby Boomers became what they are today. After retiring from careers in the public Service and then in Private Enterprise, Michael lives in retirement in Ngunnawal with his wife, Christine, and dog, Baxter. He continues his interest in family and military history through his involvement with the Australian War Memorial.
