  1. The 1960’S The time of great change in Australian Social Society

  2. The Hippy Culture in the 60’s Popular Culture was the ‘hippy era’. Some ways of showing this was the clothes they wore, music they listened to and their behaviour towards people and the environment. Nowadays it is seen as a weird thing but in the 60’s almost everyone was catching onto this era.

  3. The reason for change in Australia in regards to pop culture was technology was growing faster than ever. TV Programs, Movies and Popular Music influenced Australians all day, every day in whatever they were doing. Technology made the media powerful when selling and advertising their products. Most of the media came from America. Batman, Superman and other superheroes took the world by storm and had already influenced young children. 1960 Popular Culture

  4. Youth Culture Like today, Youth Culture is whatever is popular in the era. The Youth Culture in the 60’s was simple. Drugs were introduced and became very popular very quickly. The young people of society quickly noticed this form of entertainment and fun. Fashion for the young ones was the mini-skirts and hats that were worldly popular for young people. 1969, Woodstock, was a giant music festival which was an opportunity for the drug dealers to sell the drugs which unfortunately gave the young people a chance to experiment with this new found craze. Between 1960 and 1969 over 467,000 young people overdosed or had some sort of reported abuse throughout the world.

  5. Drugs … Drugs around the world is what made the 60’s what it is known as today. During the 1960’s, the 3 common, most used drugs were LSD, marijuana and datura(also known as magic mushrooms). Reportedly around the world, there was over 3 million abuse cases in 4 weeks. This caused outrage not only in Australia but in many places around the world.

  6. TV – big change By the time 1964 came, the television had been invented and had three commercial networks. People became either addicted or wanted one for themselves. If people weren't watching TV they were talking about it. Nowadays people did indeed take TV for granted. From 1978 the television had 2 channels which were NBN3 and ABC however if it was affordable for the individual an antenna was purchased and Sydney channels could be viewed. Today though, endless amounts of TV are watched every hour with at least 37 channels unless pay TV (foxtel) are purchased and a further 432 channels can be viewed. Big Difference …

  7. Fashion in the 60’s Fashion in the 60’s in Australian society was very diverse, it was the decade in society that broke many fashion traditions including the way women dressed. Before the 60’s women saw the need to dress what is called ‘appropriately’ but during this time women decided that new fashion trends were needed in Australia. The appearance of Australia’s first bikini in the musical Beach Party made it worldly famous and before long the bikini was what women wore to the beach. Between 1964 and 65 culottes, box-shaped PVC dresses and go-go boots became very popular resulting in a completely new fashion trend in Australia.

  8. Fashion in the 60’s The invention of the mini-skirt by Mary Quant took Australia with a shock and it became very popular very quickly. False eyelashes were worn by women and women's hairstyles were like today a variety of colours and lengths. During this decade colours were the biggest trend so the need for accessories were of less importance as people dressed in the colours rather than wearing them. All these trends tested the women and what they wore on an everyday basis. Was it appropriate?

  9. MUSIC The 60s in most of the western world was the ‘hippi era’. This had a lot to do with the music that was popular in this era. One of the most famous bands in history was developed in the 60s, they called themselves the beetles. Most of their songs did have the ‘hippi effect’ which is one of the reasons why they were so successful. Some other famous musicians that were created: Jimi Hendricks, Elvis, Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder.

  10. Major Event On the 6th of May 1960, Princess Margret married Anthony Armstrong Jones at Westminster Abbey. Over 20 million viewers tuned in to watch the first ever televised royal wedding. Exactly 2000 guests watched the royal wedding from their seats in the church. Margret was dressed in white silk and a diamond tiaraas she walked on the blue aisled carpet. Not far behind her, her 8 bridesmaids one being the queens eldest daughter, Princess Anne taking the lead. The Duke of Edinburgh walked the princess down the aisle to greet her groom and his best man Dr Roger Gilliat. Straight after the wedding they both made their way to Buckingham Palace, where the couple appeared on the balcony and waved to a very excited and delighted crowd. Soon after their appearance they took themselves into the Palace and enjoyed their happiness with wedding toasts with their closest 120 guests. Unfortunately their honeymoon was delayed but returned to original plans soon after.

  11. Reflection: Completing this task, wasn’t difficult, but wasn’t easy either. It took a lot of time and patience to get the correct information when there are millions of sites on the internet. I learnt new and different things on how life was during the 1960s and how they lived and adapted. This task was fun and exciting especially when I got to research about the Royal Family. I would do this task again and again. Ten points. 
