The Australian colonies had come a long way since they were a dump for grim crims and convicts. Life was comfortableat least for some. But soon drought would send swaggies waltzing their matildas along the roads, and bad times would make politicians dream of uniting the country into one nation. And then a far-off war would create a different kind of digger. What they brought back home would make greater changes to Australia than gold ever did. Meet the scabs and the swaggies, battling politicians, doddering generals, sheep stealers and heroic diggers who finally turned us into a nation in the latest instalment of the Fair Dinkum Histories. Its history as youve never seen it!

THE STORY IS EQUAL PARTS DOWNTOWN ABBEY AND WARTIME ACTION , WITH ENOUGH ROMANCE AND INTRIGUE TO MAKE IT 100% NOT- PUT- DOWN-ABLE. Australian Woman's Weekly A tale of espionage, love and passionate heroism. Inspired by true events, this is the story of how society's 'lovely ladies' won a war. Each year at secluded Shillings Hall, in the snow-crisped English countryside, the mysterious Miss Lily draws around her young women selected from Europe's royal and most influential families. Her girls are taught how to captivate a man - and find a potential husband - at a dinner, in a salon, or at a grouse shoot, and in ways that would surprise outsiders. For in 1914, persuading and charming men is the only true power a woman has. Sophie Higgs is the daughter of Australia's king of corned beef and the only 'colonial' brought to Shillings Hall. Of all Miss Lily's lovely ladies, however, she is also the only one who suspects Miss Lily's true purpose. As the chaos of war spreads, women across Europe shrug off etiquette. The lovely ladies and their less privileged sisters become the unacknowledged backbone of the war, creating hospitals, canteens and transport systems where bungling officials fail to cope. And when tens of thousands can die in a single day's battle, Sophie must use the skills Miss Lily taught her to prevent war's most devastating weapon yet. But is Miss Lily heroine or traitor? And who, exactly, is she?

Nearly Impossible Dreams written by Tara Finn and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013 with Australian poetry categories.
Nearly Impossible Dreams is a unique poetry book written by talented 10 year old author, Tara Finn. It includes a collection of works composed by Tara between the ages of 8 to 10 years old. Not only does Tara love to play with words but she uses poetry to convey her thoughts and feelings. It is intriguing to see the mind of a child expressed in this form. This combined with Tara’s creativity and ability to recognise the elements of a poem at such a young age makes the book even more captivating. The book uses illustrations by Michelle Harris to depict the essence of the poems to a beautiful effect. The poems appeal to school children; schools and educational organisations; libraries; universities; and poetry enthusiasts. It supports and encourages young Australian writers to achieve their dreams. Tara’s talent was originally recognised through Forming Circles Pty Ltd which is an Australian organisation committed to creating social and ethical investment success stories. Founder and CEO of Forming Circles, Renata Cooper, said, The book is an inspiring, uplifting, at times dark yet enlightening journey of a 10 year old. Tara truly represents the potential of upcoming Australian writing talent that we are proud to support. About the author Tara Finn has been reading and writing since (almost) the day she was born. Her parents joked she came out with a book in her hand, cranky because she was up to a really good part. She is currently in Year 6 and looking forward to finally getting to High School. She has won four Sydney Youth Writing Awards, and been published in numerous publications. Tara’s absolute favourite things in life are chocolate, boiled rice and netball, but not necessarily in that order. She has a younger brother and sister who drive her to distraction, a mother who makes her brush her hair and teeth (imagine!), and an Irish father who sings loud Irish songs in public just to embarrass her. Yes, she is normal in some ways!
