After a lifetime of research and debate on Australian and international history, Geoffrey Blainey is well-placed to introduce us to the people who have played a part and to guide us through the events which have created the Australian identity: the mania for spectator sport, the suspicion of the tall poppy, the rivalries of Catholic and Protestant, Sydney and Melbourne, new and old homelands, the conflicts of war abroad and race at home, the importance of technology, the recognition of our Aboriginal past and Native Title.

What did you love best about A Shorter History of Australia?
Covered a wide range of key events in Australia's history. The book was easy listening and well written for those interested in a brief history lesson.
What other book might you compare A Shorter History of Australia to and why?
Hard to compare because it deals with many subjects in a short space of time. My feeling would be that if you enjoyed this book you would also enjoy books like Kakoda and even Mathew Flinder's Cat (fiction)
What about Humphrey Bower’s performance did you like?
Always a great Narrator for any Australian story - didn't disappoint.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No.
