Introduction

Milkshakes, Sundaes And Cafe Culture is about cafes and milkbars of the past that were such an important feature of everyday life in cities and in country towns. It tells the story of
some of those cafes and of the people who established and ran them.

Many of the cafes featured in the exhibition were family businesses established by Greek migrants.

The exhibition is an opportunity for students to find out about aspects of the history of everyday Australian life and Australian cultural diversity.
