Among all those legendary bushrangers, stoic explorers, genius inventors and upstanding politicians in Australian history, surely there must be some LOSERS in the pack YOU'RE HISTORY, MATE! has found them all. From the explorer who claimed to have found an enormous reef of gold then lost it again (and lost himself in the process), to the men who sold their shares in BHP just days before the mineral discovery that made it the richest mine in history, to the ugliest, least successful and unluckiest colonial bushranger you could ever hope to find, to the politician who famously drank a glass of herbicide to prove it wasn't poisonous, they're all in the book. A sneaky way to teach children Australian history, there will be plenty of facts and information contained in the book among the laughs. Readers will learn about bushrangers, exploration, business and politics, and what life was like in colonial Australia and right through to the 1920s and beyond.
