Mini Retro Sydney is a fantastic visual throwback to one of the most famous cities in the world, with images from the 1950s and 60s of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and other landmarks, many of which have never been published before and gathered by collector of vintage photographs, Ian Collis.
Including the Queen's visit to Sydney, the fashion scene, motor cars and transport, hobbies and sports and weekend life, this beautiful book is in a compact size, ideal as a gift or a self-purchase for anyone who remembers a visit from that time or for expats in the UK or elsewhere who want a trip down memory lane.
