$40.7 $55 In stock

This collection of photographs celebrates the vibrant and exciting coming of age of Australia’s first city in the ‘golden era’ of 1950 to 2000.

From the bustling heart of the CBD, to the quaint suburbia of the outer suburbs, the fashionable streets of Double Bay, the seedy and glamorous Kings Cross, & the carefree beachside suburbs of Sydney, Retro Sydney captures the city’s most significant postwar milestones, and highlights its development and transformation into an international metropolis.

Madison C. ★★★★★

Flipping through these pages feels like stepping into a time machine, the suburban shots are just as compelling as the city ones. I’ve already spent hours lost in the details of everyday life from those decades.

Scarlett T. ★★★★★

The suburban photos are the real gem here—I've spent hours zooming in on the quaint backyard scenes that capture everyday life so honestly. If you're into local history, this is a time capsule you'll flip through again and again.

Edward ★★★★★

The CBD street scenes from the 1950s are incredible, especially the old trams and shopfronts I remember from my grandmother's stories. The print quality holds up well for photos this old, and it's a lovely book to leave out on the coffee table.
