	Amazing Facts about Australia's Early Settlers Australia is home to an ancient, 60,000-year-old Indigenous culture and a young European influence of just over 200 years. Both have proven to be resourceful and resilient, eking out an existence on one of the toughest continents on Earth. On top of that, Australia is the only country founded solely to contain convicts. This gives it a fascinating penal history, complete with numerous tales of convicts making daring escapes, ranging the bush as folk heroes, or becoming respected citizens. Those who came included felons, brave settlers, entrepreneurial squatters, hopeful miners, optimistic free selectors and immigrants, each adding a chapter to our nation's story. The strands of our Aboriginal, penal and pioneering past, coupled with a proud war record and strong democratic principles, create our social history. The right to own land, to vote, to run for parliament, to speak freely, to be given a "fair go" at work, to receive a fair trial by jury, and to not be constrained by a class system are all values enshrined over time by our pioneering ancestors. I hope this book inspires you to learn more about our settlers, most of whom arrived with little or nothing, but left us with a multicultural, prosperous and proud Australia. $19.95Add to Cart ISBN: 9781741933185

	Amazing Facts about Australia's Deadly & Dangerous Wildlife This book is packed full of information and you'll be amazed at how much you learn about Australia's deadly and dangerous animals by dipping into the remarkable facts presented. Our aim is to inspire in our readers a curiosity and thirst to know more about the deadly and dangerous animals that share our natural environment. Having a proper understanding of these animals, and the environments in which they live, is essential for avoiding harmful encounters, and also helps foster a respect for life. Many of the creatures in this book may seem insignificant, yet their collective existence has had a profound effect on the human race (and vice versa) - and will continue to do so for many years to come. With great enthusiasm I set out on another incredible adventure of learning and discovery in collaboration with the Queensland Museum, joining with their talented publication team to produce this book. I hope that you'll embark on our discovery of the world of Australia's deadly and dangerous creatures and be amazed by what you find. $19.95Add to Cart ISBN: 9781741933086
