Growing Up in the 1930s

"They were desperate times but the Depression created a certain breed of people who economised, 'made-do', and 'got-by' without spending much money, eventually surviving those difficult times."

Growing up in the 1930s is the first-hand recollections of a young Australian boy's life during the Great Depression in Newcastle in the 1930s as told by a now old man with a long memory.  It records the daily life and times, keeping alive an era that otherwise may be forgotten.
