IT’S ALL ABOUT AUSTRALIA, MATE

Book ID/图书代码： 04410008B29864

English Summary/英文概要： One of Australia’s most distinguished journalists takes a light-hearted but factual and comprehensive look at the Australian way of life. Our icons, indigenous peoples, sport, our pubs and culture, taxi drivers, our thirst for gambling, how we dress and speak and our major cities are just some of the subjects covered. Little-known facts are given, nuggets of history are unearthed and surprising statistics are presented, together with a host of amusing stories and anecdotes. The book also includes a detailed look at Australia’s unofficial national anthem, Waltzing Matilda, and the classic ballad, The Man from Snowy River.

It’s All About Australia, Mate is a great read for all of us interested in our heritage, trivia and those bits of our history we somehow missed out on. This is also a perfect book for visiting overseas tourists or those who just have an interest in life down under. Unlike any other book on the market, this is the complete guide to our way of life and a good laugh to go with it.
