Description

Beautifully nostalgic Adelaide stories - originally published in Bob Byrne's hugely popular Boomer column in the Adelaide Advertiser - now available in one bumper book. Remember eating AMSCOL ice cream at the Royal Show? The Birdman Rally at the Bay? When Burger was on Anzac Highway? Or 'Futuro' the 'flying-saucer' building in North Adelaide in the '70s and '80s? Take a gloriously sentimental trip down memory lane with Bob Byrne as he shows us - through his Boomer articles and images - the Adelaide of yesteryear that we still dearly love.
