ABOUT
Golden Miles is an auto biography, a book about cars, people
and place. Australia in the late-60s/early 70s was a young country bursting
at the seams: charging out of a brief window of opportunity between the
end of colonialism and the beginning of globalism, the muscle car was a
product of archetypal Australian suburbia, a fusion of the larrikin spirit
and the sexual revolution, the Me Generation in overdrive...
Golden Miles is a social history of these cars - the Holden
Monaro, Falcon GT, Valiant Charger and others - whose sex drive has endured
so strongly that they are now being reborn.
This new, expanded edition of Golden Miles explores the
archetypal product of Australian suburbia - the muscle car.
Clinton Walker is the author of seven books and several hit documentaries
including the 2001 series on the history of Australian rock, Long Way to
the Top.
'... absorbing and enlightening.' Judy Herbert the Advocate
'A rambling journey that's provocative and lavishly illustrated
... as much for pop culture lovers as rev heads.' - Sydney Morning
Herald.
