What do our fathers mean to us, and to the world out there? Former students at a primary school's fiftieth reunion asked themselves these questions. The result is this book. Their fathers were returning from Australian war service in the 1950s, or leaving Europe for a better life, or moving from country to city in search of careers. In twenty-six very different stories, sons and daughters give snapshots of their fathers' lives, creating a fascinating panorama of Australia undergoing change in a particular time and place. These stories of 'everyday heroes' glow with love and fun - tinged with occasional sadness.
