Blurb:
"Long before the Americanised 24-hour ‘convenience’ stores, and before the ‘Big Two’ overhauled how we buy our milk and bread with petrol, on nearly every third corner of the Australian suburbs lived the milk bar — the independent one-stop shop with everything you needed to live day to day. In this constantly changing world, the milk bar represents an idealised image of the Australia we used to know. The faded signage and empty corner shops still dotted around our cities remind us of a simpler time — a time when you knew your fellow shopkeeper by their first name."
