We love this retro book!:
In This is Australia, first published in 1970, Sasek swings down under, winging his readers into Sydney, with its famous bridge and space-age Opera House; bustling, modern Melbourne; colonial Adelaide; semitropical Brisbane; the garden city of Canberra; mineral-rich Perth; and Alice Springs, Australia’s most famous outback town.

I’m going to have to try and get my hands on This is Australia after reading your Then and Now post as well. I am a bit of history nerd in hiding.
Hi Catherine,
I was really surprised to find a copy in my local library. Give yours a try! . Otherwise Book Depository, Booktopia and The Nile sell it at a reasonable price if you like online shopping!
