Biography & Memoir Australiana
The Rumpus Room And Other Stories From The Suburbs gathers much-loved Australian radio host Tim Ross’s warm, witty memories of growing up in the burbs. In this compact 98-page paperback he turns everyday family spaces into comic snapshots that feel instantly familiar to anyone who’s wrestled with a Hills Hoist or endured a backyard barbecue.
Brio Books released the 2017 illustrated edition, its square format letting Ross’s nostalgic sketches sit beside the text and giving collectors a pleasingly tactile object. Light shelf wear shows only a minor surface tear on the back cover; inside, pages are crisp, unmarked, and firmly bound—ready to slip straight onto a mid-century bookshelf or into a gift bag.
Young adults and grown-ups alike will enjoy the easy humour and retro Australian references, making it an ideal quick read for fans of true-life storytelling, radio nostalgia, and suburb-spotting culture.
