“The Milk Bars Book Volume II is a confectionery, literature masterpiece, which will take you back, to a world of pure Milk Bar imagination, the past is brought back to the present, and all your childhood forgotten memories will come flooding in, just like the soda fountains of yesteryear!”

- D. Yiannakou, 2024.

"You've done us all a favour by creating this wonderful, compact, brightly coloured time machine for all of us, who lived there, to travel back to it - to see it and smell it all over again. Thanks for your kind recounting of so many lovely memories."

- A. Dobrochodow, 2019.

"Just received the fabulous book and it looks amazing. You have documented a very unique part of Australian history, which really formed a significant urban and rural visual landscape, and shaped many of my earliest memories of my childhood in the 1970’s. Thank you for such a valuable work."

- J. Jacobi, 2019.

“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 Ross, Australian comedian, writer, radio host, social commentator and design nerd.
