Back before the big fast food restaurants arrived in WA, if you wanted to get a burger in Perth, you choices were a bit limited.

But thankfully, there was a few spots you could go to get a bite later in the evening, and the State Records Office has a lot of details on one that was just off Mounts Bay Road - Bernies!

The State Records Office's Damian Shepherd joined Harvey to talk about this delicious spot!

The Menzies Legacy: Ideals, Change, Procession, 1960s and Beyond, 

Was Robert Menzies out of step with the swinging 1960s,

or did he shape the profound changes that it wrought?

Menzies led Australia for over half the decade, finally

retiring in 1966 as our oldest prime minister. His reputation

for stability and continuity appears opposed to everything

we commonly associate with the 1960s. Yet he governed

during a dynamic period marked by rising levels of

homeownership, university education, opportunities for

women, engagement with Asia, instantaneous

communications, space exploration, international travel and

trade.
