- Abstract:
- The humble fibro cottage in Camden in the 1950s and 1960s is integral to the town's 20th-century history. The fibro house was representative of the baby-boomer era when drive-ins, Holdens, Chiko rolls, black & white TV, rock & roll and vinyl LPs were the norm. Fibro is evocative of long hot summer holidays by the beach with adolescent love, boogie boards, zinc cream and paddle pops.
