“Eamon has a knack for capturing moments of Australian life like few others. Our past needs to be valued, documented and celebrated. The simplicity of the Milk Bar experience, a cherished memory of our childhoods, is one that should be elevated to a higher plane. Get behind this. I certainly am.”
Tim "Rosso" Ross, Australian Comedian, writer, radio host, social commentator and design nerd.
