Flared skirts, beehive hairdos, stay-at-home mums ... Australia in the fifties and sixties was comfortably conservative. Then along came the seventies ...This is the story of how one young Australian navigates her way through a decade of upheaval.It's 1971, past midnight on a cold Sydney winter's night and Pamela finds herself alone in the darkness on the side of a deserted highway with no money and no idea where she is. She's just escaped an abusive relationship and so begins her life as a single parent, living in communal houses, racing across the city between child-care and work and home, saving for her dream of travelling the world.Drug-dabbling along the Hippie Highway in Asia, battling homelessness in London, living in France and Greece in a rusty old Kombi van, Pamela hones her survival skills. And all the while surpassing Bridget Jones in her selection of unsuitable men.
