After a century of speculation by writers, filmmakers, travelers and scholars, being Australian' has become a recognisable shorthand for a group of national characteristics. Now, in an era of international terrorism, being seen as un-Australian' has become a potent rhetorical weapon for some, and a badge of honour for others. Catriona Elder explores the origins, meaning and effects of the many stories we tell about ourselves, and how they have changed over time. She outlines some of the traditional stories and their role in Australian nationalism, and she shows how concepts of egalitarianism, peaceful settlement and sporting prowess have been used to create a national identity. Elder also investigates the cultural and social perspectives that have been used to critique dominant accounts of Australian identity, including ideas of class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity and race. She shows how these critiques have been, in turn, queried in recent years. Being Australian is an ideal introduction to studying Australia for anyone interested in understanding Australian society, culture and history. A clever work: incisive and original. At a time when Australian identities have never been more debated, Elder finds an open way through the closed doors which often restrict cultural representations of Australian-ness.' Professor Adam Shoemaker, Dean of Arts, ANU This is a timely and significant new analysis essential reading on issues of identity and our own anxieties about national belonging and what it means to be Australian' in a globalising world.' Kate Darian-Smith, Professor of Australian Studies and History, University of Melbourne

When Ashley persuades her new husband Steve to leave snowy Canada and join her for a year Down Under, she looks forward to an easy transition. After all, Australia's just Canada with more sunshine and strange animals, right? But they soon discover things aren't so simple. Steve struggles to settle and Ashley fears he will come to regret both the move and the marriage - especially after she loses her wedding rings on Bondi Beach. Baffled, homesick and increasingly anxious (in a land renowned for 'no worries'), she is preparing to return to Canada when Steve shockingly announces that he wants to stay in Australia. Forever. For the sake of her marriage and her happiness, Ashley must find an Australia she can belong to: she decides to travel the country, learn its history, decode its cultural quirks and connect with as many residents as she can meet. How to Be Australian is a remarkable memoir, at once familiar and faraway, that shines a fresh, funny and fascinating light onto the country we think we know.

Shortly after her training in England, Lesley Meaney migrated to Australia in 1969, as a young art teacher. These 366 pages are a visual journey of her 50 years in Terra Australis - of her curiosity and of her evolution in responding to this country. In her own words, Lesley states: "It took twenty years of living, working and travelling throughout Australia before I felt eligible to apply for citizenship. It's not about making a decision, or even choosing. My journey in becoming Australian, from deep within, has been a slow process; my immersion into the landscape, especially my five years in the North West, has been a partner in that journey. I feel I have now taken root, like one of the eucalypts - trees, which I think represent the soul of our sunburnt country". These pages reveal her response to the smorgasbord of colours, shapes and designs that emerge, when one looks closely to the wealth of material waiting to be discovered in nature's bounty in her adopted country. Lesley Meaney is a technician, a master of a number of crafts, which she employs in her work. However, she also states: "I cannot predict what I will be creating next year, next month or even next week. Past works are merely prologue - like a line in a poem, or cadence in music". She is also aware that she is fortunate to live in a time, in a place and in circumstances that enable her, not only to share her images, but also to surrender to her own aesthetics.
