In Episode 4, Bob Carr talks about growing up in Maroubra and Matraville in the 1950s and 60s. His sharp memory recalls the smells of milk bars and the bread from horse drawn bakery carts. Bob describes in detail, the physical landscape of the time and also talks about what it was like being a child in the 1950s and 60s in a more relaxed society.

As time went by, Bob talks on his first encounters with TV and trams and the influences that formed his political views, Sundays spent listening to orators in the Domain, discussions with Keating and Beaton and finally his journalist and political careers.
