![]() The Land Before Avocado will make you laugh and cry, feel angry and inspired. It is also the land of staggeringly awful attitudes - often enshrined in law - towards anybody who didn't fit in. It's a place of funny clothing and food that was appalling, but amusingly so. Let's break the news now: they didn't have avocado. The Australia of the late '60s and early '70s. It's a vivid portrait of a quite peculiar land: a place that is scary and weird, dangerous and incomprehensible, and, now and then, surprisingly appealing. In The Land Before Avocado, Richard Glover takes a journey to an almost unrecognisable Australia. There's plenty of nostalgia right now for the Australia of the past, but what was it really like? A funny and frank look at the way Australia used to be - and just how far we have come. ![]() ![]() The new book from the bestselling author of Flesh Wounds. ![]()
