48 years of change in Australia.

What can you remember that has changed?

Here are some statistics, but there are a lot of things that have changed, even though the population has doubled.

1968 not everyone had a telephone in their home. Lots of small private shops to buy from. The Butcher, the Baker, the Greencrocer. Milk and bread were delivered to the house, and if one wanted cream or breadrolls, one only had to leave a note with the milk can or in the bread box outside the door. Everybody left money for the goods and none was ever stolen.

It's going back more than 48 years, I think. My maternal grandmother referred to my mother's new boyfriend as a "DP".

Thankfully, Australia has matured since those days, and we don't hear that kind of talk, anymore.

Dad was a Pole, a post war migrant; a Displaced Person (but you have to say it with the"right" tone...).
