SUMMARY:Gotcha! Concrete Prints from the McEwans Celebrity Pavement
DESCRIPTION:Who remembers the McEwans celebrity pavement? \nBetween 1972 and 1994\, scores of celebrities had their hand- and footprints immortalised in cement at the entrance of the McEwans hardware store in Bourke Street. Shopping for a hammer or a hair-dryer\, you’d step in the prints of actors\, musicians\, sportspeople\, writers\, dancers\, politicians\, an astronaut\, a racehorse – even an operatic dog. \nCurated by Robyn Annear\, ‘Gotcha!’ presents 40 of the surviving prints from the McEwans pavement\, together with stories of the celebrities who made them and newspaper images that capture the mood of the times. \nNote: enter City Gallery via Customer Relations\nMonday to Friday: 9am to 5pm

SUMMARY:Rare Book Week: ‘Good price\, reliable recipes\, great photos’
DESCRIPTION:Australian Women’s Weekly cookbooks and their influence on Australian food culture \nSpeaker: Dr Lauren Samuelsson \nThe Australian Women’s Weekly’scookbooks were (and still are) remarkably popular. The Weekly\, Australia’s most popular women’s magazine\, started publishing a range of cookbooks from the late 1930s\, but it was during the 1970s when their cookbooks became incredibly popular. Many of the Weekly’s cookbooks\, whether the Children’s Birthday Cake Book or the Chinese Cooking Class Cookbook\, have become ‘bibles’ in the Australian kitchen. This talk will investigate how these books came to be\, why they were so popular\, and how they helped shape Australia’s food culture. \nPresented by The Old Treasury Building\nThis is a ZOOM online event only\nFriday 19th July\, 11am – 12pm \nClick here to register  \n  \nThis event is part of Rare Book Week.\nYou can access the full program here.
