Description

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.
