What a Ripper!

60 Everyday Objects That Shaped Australia

Tim Ross

Description

Comedian and self-described design nerd Tim Ross takes a nostalgic look at classic objects from the Stackhat to the Speedo.

There are certain memories that will be familiar to anyone who grew up in Australia between the 1960s and the 1990s. Things like traipsing to the caravan-park toilet with a Dolphin torch at night, indulging in crème de menthe from a Regis glass, lobbing a banana peel at a Nylex flip-top bin and sporting a new Stackhat while riding your BMX bike.

Celebrating 60 objects that were designed and made in Australia, Tim Ross transports us back in time and pays tribute to objects that you might be lucky enough to still find in your home or backyard shed. There are colourful photos, previously untold stories and fascinating narratives, making this book equal parts retro-design celebration, pop-culture treasure trove and nostalgic adventure.
