In this book you will find out the history of the bushrangers, learn how the discovery of gold caused a tidal wave of immigration & understand how Australia took two steps forward to become a nation in its own right in 1901, and two steps back when the government was dismissed by the Crown in 1975. This is the first update of this book since 2011. Four prime ministers, royal commissions, indigenous land rights, legalizing of same-sex marriage & the passing of the Uluru statement. So much has happened in the last 10 years!
