Once there was nothing. Then there was something . . .
Come on a fascinating journey through time--from the explosive beginnings of our
planet through the formation of the Australian landscape, from the deeply entrenched
history of our Indigenous people to modern-day Australia.
Beginning with the creation of our country's landmass and climate, Australian Story: An
Illustrated Timeline presents the key moments in our country's geographical, faunal and
floral formation, and later human settlement.
Featuring succinct entries on historical moments over the past 47 billion years, Australian
Story covers such topics as ecological change, social upheaval, politics, invention, the
industrial age, war, immigration, celebration, culture and modern technology--and
presents them in a way that is visual, fun and thoroughly entertaining for children.
Illustrated with a striking collection of photographs and images from the NLA's
collection, this is history for children like never before. A fascinating snapshot of our
country, Australian Story tells who we once were, who we are today . . . and where we
are going.
Originally published in 2012, Australian Story is now brought up to date with events up
to 2016 and a new cover.
