I tend to think that the service is a bit better in...
Came across a great book of police photography from the 20's. The photos are very reminiscent of Weegee
The book is called "City of Shadows: Sydney Police Photographs 1912-1948".
I also found an essay about the photos here.
We will know that hats are really truly back in fashion once we start to see hat and coat racks in buses, trains and cafe's. I am never sure where to put my hat when its off my head.
Phryne Fisher
Anybody read any of the Phryne Fisher books by Kerry Greenwood. They are set in 30's Melbourne and about a female detective. Almost Bond like but in a very femanine kind of way. Greenwood really seems to catch the era in a very convincing way. Lots of great detail about Phryne's...
Certainly over summer there seemed to be more trilbies and fedoras in my part of the Sydney CBD. Now its getting a little chilly I seem to see many around although I have spotted a couple of Panama's.

I also have David...

The Evil Kinevel Stunt Cycle brings back memories. I can still remember holding the handle and turning the wheeelie bit. I have never thought of that toy for a very long time. One of my fav retro toys is my dad's clockwork Hornby Trainset.
I also have many great fond memories of playing with...
Sydney Vintage ware
Anybody know of any decently priced places in Sydney, Australia that have neat male vintage clothes, particurly pants?
Also are there any online Australian vintage clothes sites?
I just got a Akubra Fedora on the weekend and lo and behold it had a hat chord. I had never used or seen one before. After a little research on the web I found this great thread and forum. Wikipedia on this page on Fedora's seems to refer to the wind chord as a "wind trolley". Anybody know the...
