Australianarama is a guide to Australian kitsch - the people, places, spaces, objects, aesthetics and moments that defined a distinctly Australian sensibility in popular culture from 1960 to the year 2000. It’s chockablock full of illustrations, archival photos, interviews with ‘kitsch-sperts’ and ephemera punctuated with snappy commentary and thoughtful takes on what the future of Australiana could be.

Australianarama is a 224-page hardcover book bursting with colourful illustrations, archival photography, playful commentary and insightful interviews. It's a pop culture time capsule with a futurist twist.

As a kitsch object in its own right, it looks pretty snazzy sitting on a coffee table, bookshelf or on display in the pool room!

Australianarama is RRP $42.99 Australian Dollars, excluding shipping. Very reasonable for a 224 page hardcover book chockablock with forty years of pop culture morsels and visual kitsch-spiration!
