The life and times of Australia's Baby Boomer generation


Iconic People of the Baby Boomer Years

For the purpose of this website, we define iconic people as those who have been uniquely important in the era of Australian Baby Boomers. They are symbolic in that they personify aspects of the Baby Boomer culture, its history or way of life, and are instantly recognisable. We trust you agree with our selection. See also Movers and Shakers, who are people who have had a major influence on the lives of Baby Boomers, but are not iconic as per our definition. For general icons, click here.
