This stunningly-produced book draws together a complete history of Australia from the geological super continent of Gondwanaland to its modern incarnation as one of the most vibrant countries in the world.

With its combination of pull-out facsimiles of original documents, sumptuous illustrations, detailed but lively chapters and information boxes to highlight key personalities or events,
The Story of Australia takes the reader on a fascinating voyage through time.

Starting with the birth of the land itself and ending with a look into the future, the book takes a largely chronological approach over its 28 chapters, covering the formation and peopling of the modern continent of Australia.

Momentous events in history – such as the arrival of James Cook, Federation and the Bicentenary – are examined in detail alongside the broader context of European exploration in the Pacific, the impact of cultural contact on the Aboriginal population, and the formation of a uniquely “Australian” culture.

This richly-textured approach makes it a delight to read from cover to cover, for reference – or simply to dip into for a treat.
