Did you know that Australians were actually the first in the world to: * put wine in cardboard casks * explore both the Arctic and Antarctic by air * invent a portable pacemaker * manufacture and market the one-piece bathing suit * develop the wire-guided missile? Australians are among the most outstanding innovators on the planet, leading the world in achievements across many fields such as sport, the arts, medicine, transport and exploration. Before Arthur Conan Doyle, Australia's own Mary Fortune was the first female author of detective fiction and one of the most prolific crime writers of the nineteenth century. The glowing fire of Australian opals would have probably remained unknown to the world gem market if it hadn't been for Tullie C. Wollaston. Kay Cottee was the first woman to complete a single-handed non-stop circumnavigation of the world by sea, and long before the successes of Mark Webber there was Sir Jack Brabham, the first person to win a Formula One World Championship in a car that he designed himself. Great Australian World Firsts tells the stories of thirty remarkable Australians, many of whom are long overdue for recognition, and will delight and inspire with insights into unique human achievement.

Great Australian Speeches written by Pamela Robson and has been published by Allen & Unwin this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1940-01-01 with History categories.
Great Australian Speeches brings together a diverse and often moving collection of more than 40 speeches ranging from colonial times to the present day. Some have resonated with power enough to shape the nation; others encapsulate the best … and worst … of the Australian character. This selection proves that stirring oratory is not simply the preserve of politicians and military figures. Bushranger Ned Kelly makes a speech within a speech as his death sentence is passed, interrupting the address of Judge Barry with words of defiance. Also featured are singer Nellie Melba's farewell speech (the irony of which neither speaker nor listeners appreciated at the time); Miles Franklin's tribute to Henry Lawson 'who gave us this kingdom as our own'; and Richie Benaud's moving eulogy to cricketing legend Donald Bradman. Iconic political speeches include Governor Phillip's message to the First Fleet on landing at Sydney Cove; the opening address of the Federal parliament by MP William Groom, ex-convict; Robert Menzies' 'Forgotten People' speech of 1942; Mick Dodson's 'Stolen Generation' protest of 1997; the 'dismissal' declarations of Gough Whitlam and Governor General John Kerr; and Kevin Rudd's statesmanlike 'Sorry …' speech of 2008.

This Is Your Life edited by David Mitchell, a self-confessed fan, is an entertaining collection of the well known and loved Australians who appeared on the television series of the same name. There are approximately 90 personalities and achievers, from 'Weary' Dunlop to Garry McDonald. They represent the sports, media and entertainment, and have all contributed something important to Australia and Australians. Each tribute is a snap shot of the personality and gives the key to what makes them tick. It provides a brief history, comments by family, friends and colleagues who appeared on the program and photos. There is a foreword by Bryce Courtenay plus a history of This Is Your Life, from when it began in America and then Britain in the 1950s, until it finally made its appearance in Australia in 1975.

'This is the story of a journalist's journey round and across Australia... It was in July 1930 that I first set out, a wandering "copy-boy" with swag and typewriter, to find what lay beyond the railway lines...' Ernestine Hill's classic account of travelling in the Australian outback, in a pilgrimage of many years and 100,000 miles. "The most picturesque account of our outback that has yet been written... a vivid and arresting page of Australian history." - Adelaide Advertiser "With zest, humour and a warm sympathy, Hill brings life to a frontier..." - New York Herald Tribune "A travel book that is a pleasure to recommend." - The Irish Times
