The golden age was just beginning

1955 was a year of optimism, growth, and the early stirrings of a cultural revolution. Australia was booming — new suburbs were expanding, families were growing, and the good life felt within reach for ordinary Australians. The first Guthega Dam of the iconic Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme was completed, a feat of engineering that captured the nation's imagination. Around the world, rock and roll was beginning its glorious rise, and the seeds of change were being planted. Those born in 1955 came into a world on the cusp of something wonderful. Mark this special year with a personalised newspaper that tells the story of that hopeful time.

Key highlights for this year

  • The Guthega Dam — part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme — was completed

  • Rock and roll began its rise to global dominance

  • Australia's suburban boom transformed the nation's cities

  • Post-war prosperity brought new opportunities for Australian families

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change the headline?

Yes - you're welcome to reword the headline. Our only recommendation is to keep the total number of characters similar to avoid the font getting too big or too small and not looking great.

Can I change the personalisation after ordering?

You'll receive a digital artwork the next business day.

If you need to make any tweaks let us know and we'll adjust your file.

Do I need to upload a black and white photo?

No - a colour photo can be uploaded. We will convert it to black and white when we prepare your file so it's similar to the photos shown in the product listing.

Do I need a scanner?

No. If you need to digitalise an old photo, a photograph taken of the original with a smartphone is a great option if you don't have access to a scanner.

Remember to take your photo in a room with good natural light to help avoid shadows.

How many pixels should my photo be?

Ideally 1,200 pixels x 1,600 pixels or larger

Is a personal message required?

No - the personal message at the bottom of the print is completely optional.

My old photo has some dust and scratches, will it work?

Yes. We touch up older photos in Photoshop at no charge as part of our service.
