Illustrated by Susanne Ferrier
A lively, lucid account of Australia and its people, designed for young readers. A book to be shared, appreciated and enjoyed by families through Australia, and by all those eager to discover the story of this new country within an ancient land. Original sources highlight episodes in a way that will especially appeal to young people: we hear the voices of Aborigines, of those who sailed with the First Fleet, of pioneers, gold-diggers, Anzacs, victims of the Great Depression, famous aviators, and postwar immigrants . . .
