Author: Toby Creswell

A definitive 'Who's Who' of infamous Australians.

The European settlement of Terra Australis was motivated by a desire to find somewhere to put people who didn't fit in, and right from the start that spirit has been integral to its development. Notorious Australians is a selection of short portraits and biographies taken from all walks of life - from convicts and bushrangers to the ladies of the night right up to the boardrooms of the city and to heads of government. Some of the tales are of hapless stupidity, some tell of victims and their emotions and dark needs, some are funny and some are gruesome. There are stories of bravery, ingenuity and serendipity. Notorious Australians is a fascinating and intriguing snapshot of the people who have inhabited the seamier side of Australian society, from colonial settlement to the present day.
