1788 Words Or Less: A Short History Of Australia by Malcolm Knox, ISBN 9781740512442

> Australia Books > History Books

Author: Malcolm Knox

All the Australian history you'll ever need to know - condensed into a book the size of a passport. Famous faces range from boat people Dirk Warthog and the wicked Captain Bligh to great leaders John Macarthur, who rode on the sheep's back, and Sir Henry National Parkes, who had a mighty beard.

Australia's top sports people rate a mention - Our Don Bradperson and Our Dawnie Fraser. There's an explanation of Australian politics (Responsible and Representative, also known as Reprehensible, Government). And there are plenty of action replays of our most exciting moments: the time when convicts were emaciated; the day Rum'n'Raisins became currency; the distinguished era when sandstone became the new granite; and the baffling one when brave men and camels went inland and got lost.

Guaranteed free of spelling errors and factual inaccuracies (conditions apply).
