Exhibition on at Sydney Museum until 25 July 2010.

The 1930s was a time of great hardship when many people lived on the breadline, making do in tough times. Yet community spirit was high where reusing and recycling, growing vegetables and raising chooks, playing with makeshift toys, and bartering were part of daily life. Discover how Sydneysiders lived during the Great Depression, listen to personal stories of heartbreak and humour, and explore the key events and personalities of the period. Bring your kids for dress-ups and the billycart quiz.
