GIRT. The unauthorized history of Australia. David Hunt
GIRT. The unauthorized history of Australia. David Hunt. 2913. ISBN 9781922231086. Written with true Aussie tongue in cheek, Hunt delivers a Bill Bryson style story of the initial years of Australia. It is sometimes outrageous, often gritty and also empathetic to those affected by the actions of the often corrupt, inept and bigotted British bureaucrats/colonists. There are some inside jokes for the Aussie audience but it does not take away from the story nor the humour. The story moves right along and does not bog down in trivia, quite the read.
