The sociologists and the media define Baby Boomers as those born between (and including) 1946 and 1964. They are the children of people who were married after World War II, or the children of those married prior to or during the war but had withheld starting their families until the conflict was over. Without them, Australia's population would not have doubled during the last forty years of the 20th century.

These pages reflect the lives and times of Australia's Baby Boomers. Following the Biblical reference to a generation as being a forty year period, these pages cover the first forty years of the Baby Boomers generation - 1946 to 1985. This period also covers at least the first 21 years in the lives of all Baby Boomers.
