Yes, it DID cost only 25c! There is an ad in the magazine promoting a 12 month subscription for only $2. Wow.
Several years ago a friend gave me about a dozen Australian Home Beautiful magazines dating from the late 50s to the late 60s. What a score! They are very, very precious to me. I thought I'd share a few images from the December 1967 issue with you today. It's full of total gems, it was hard to pick out just a few. I will definitely share with you all some images from the other editions in the near future... Enjoy!
