The Australians - How They Live and Work: A.M. Learmonth

Published in 1973, this book has now become an interesting social and historical document. All things Australian are covered: our economic stability and strength; the vastness and sunshine of the land; our urban and industrialised life and our unique flora and fauna geography. Also covered are our political parties; our slang and currency; our living standards; private and public businesses; education; transport; arts, sports and amusements - all of which have developed with our unusual historical background.
