Vintage Vegemite school exercise book, likely 1930s–40s.
“Concentrated Extract of Yeast – Rich in Vitamin B.”

Issued for use in schools… complete with multiplication tables on the back and a full Vegemite advertisement on the front.

Imagine that today — branded food advertising printed directly onto kids’ school books. Different times.

The whole “private advertising in schools” debate isn’t new… it was happening nearly a century ago.

A brilliant little piece of Australian social history — and proof that Vegemite has been in the lunchbox conversation for generations.

Aussie Super-Heroes presents: Brainmaster & Vixen – No.1 (40c)
Published in Bayswater, Victoria by Gerald Carr.

Proper Aussie indie comic book action — radiation, gorillas, space war craft… everything you want from a 70s/80s backyard superhero universe.

Printed and produced locally. Not Marvel. Not DC. Just Australian creativity having a crack.

You’ve got to respect anyone who decided Australia needed its own caped crusaders.

The Australian Journal – Vol II & III, 1867.
Printed by Clarson, Massina & Co., 72 Little Collins Street East.

That’s gold-rush era Melbourne — 34 years before Federation.

A weekly record of literature, science and the arts… imagine the conversations these pages sparked in colonial drawing rooms.

Bound volumes, beautifully preserved. Proper early Melbourne publishing history.
