This fully updated edition is a treasure-trove of a book, presenting the history of Australia with more than 600 pictures in colour and monochrome, and a text that is bright, readable and rich in little-known facts about our remarkable country. This vivid book traces the history of the Island Continent and its people from the age of dinosaurs and the coming of the Aborigines, and their unique culture, to the fateful impact of the arrival of the first Europeans; from the grim early years of convict settlement to the unexpected growth of the Australian colonies, and the emergence of a nation known and envied throughout the world today as The Lucky Country.
