How Far $5 Went in 1975 Australia… And Why It Will Never Feel That Way Again 😳

In 1975 your nan pressed a $5 note into your hand and you felt like the richest kid alive. Two brand new albums from the charts. A Scalextric set under the Christmas tree. Fish and chips for the whole family with change. A hundred mixed lollies from the milk bar for a dollar. The petrol station attendant walking out to your car so you never had to leave the seat. This is everything that blue note could actually do — and what it tells us about the world we've lost. #1970sAustralia #Australia1975 #AustralianNostalgia #GrowingUpAustralian #VintageAustralia #AustralianChildhood #MilkBar #DearOldAussie #ThenVsNow #AustralianHistory
