AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Your typical 'little Aussie Battler' liberally laces his conversation with the great Australian adjective, has an irreverent attitude to the Boss, and a decidedly materialistic outlook on life. These lively yarns, ballads and legends collected by Bill Wannan ... show that all these traits were apparent more than a hundred years ago. As well as providing hilarious reading this helps to explain the making of the Australian character.' (Publication summary)
