Australia's Baby Boomer Generation

The Movers and Shakers are those people whose ideologies, designs, inventions and personal achievements influenced and/or changed the way we lived during the Baby Boomer years. Many Movers and Shakers of the Baby Boomer years were not Baby Boomers themselves. Those who are Baby Boomers are marked thus*. In addition to the Movers and Skakers who made things happen, there are the icons of the Baby Boomer era whose lives and work symbolised the Baby Boomer culture, and collectively are the embodiment of that era. They are listed separately.
