Girt. No word could better capture the essence of Australia.... In this hilarious history, David Hunt reveals the truth of Australia's past, from megafauna to Macquarie - the cock-ups and curiosities, the forgotten eccentrics and Eureka moments that have made us who we are. Girt introduces forgotten heroes like Mary McLoghlin, transported for the crime of "felony of sock", and Trim the cat, who beat a French monkey to become the first animal to circumnavigate Australia.

On 31st October 1917, as the day's light faded, the Australian Light Horse charged against their enemy. Eight hundred men and horses galloped four miles across open country, towards the artillery, rifles and machine guns of the Turks occupying the seemingly unassailable town of Beersheba. What happened in the next hour changed the course of history. This brave battle and the extraordinary adventures that led to it are brought vividly to life by Australia's greatest storyteller, Peter FitzSimons.

Dorothea Brooke is an ardent idealist who represses her vivacity and intelligence for the cold, theological pedant Casaubon. One man understands her true nature: the artist Will Ladislaw. But how can love triumph against her sense of duty and Casaubon’s mean spirit? Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

In 1854, Victorian miners fought a deadly battle under the flag of the Southern Cross at the Eureka Stockade. Though brief and doomed to fail, the battle is legend in both our history and in the Australian mind. Henry Lawson wrote poems about it, its symbolic flag is still raised, and even the nineteenth-century visitor Mark Twain called it: "a strike for liberty". Was this rebellion a fledgling nation’s first attempt to assert its independence under colonial rule? Or was it merely rabble-rousing by unruly miners determined not to pay their taxes?

A Short History of Nearly Everything is Bill Bryson's quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization. He takes subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us, like geology, chemistry, and particle physics, and aims to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. In the company of some extraordinary scientists, Bill Bryson reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.

When this was written it was contemporary, now it is hard core history
- By Ric Vatner on 28-03-2022
Publisher's Summary
First there was Girt. Now comes...True Girt.
In this side-splitting sequel to his best-selling history, David Hunt takes us to the Australian frontier.
This was the Wild South, home to hardy pioneers, gun-slinging bushrangers, directionally challenged explorers, nervous indigenous people, Caroline Chisholm and sheep. Lots of sheep.
True Girt introduces Thomas Davey, the hard-drinking Tasmanian governor who invented the Blow My Skull cocktail, and Captain Moonlite, Australia's most infamous LGBTI bushranger. Meet William Nicholson, the Melbourne hipster who gave Australia the steam-powered coffee roaster and the world the secret ballot. And say hello to Harry, the first camel used in Australian exploration, who shot dead his owner, the explorer John Horrocks.
Learn how Truganini's death inspired the Martian invasion of Earth. Discover the role of Hall and Oates in the Myall Creek Massacre. And be reminded why you should never ever smoke with the Wild Colonial Boy and Mad Dan Morgan.
David Hunt is the author of Girt: The Unauthorised History of Australia, which won the 2014 Indie Award for nonfiction and was short-listed in both the NSW Premier's Literary Awards and Australian Book Industry Awards. David is a comedy writer, historian and children's book author. He has a birthmark that looks like Tasmania, only smaller and not as far south.

I laughed the way through, shook my head at the actions of my forebears, and found myself with tears in my eyes at the end. Thanks, Hunt. You've taught me me about aussie history than high school ever did. Warts and all. The way it should.

Best Australian History Series Ever!
After years of waiting, the stunning sequel to the book "Girt" - named "True Girt" - has hit the bookshelves and Audible. This book is written and narrated by the larrikin David Hunt - whose writing & narration is hilarious, off-beat, inappropriate, witty and eloquent (usually all at the same time).
As an Australian expatriate, this book makes me think of home. The book exudes Australian culture. If I had to recommend a book to someone who wants to get to know Australian culture, language, humour and history - I would tell them to get this book (+ Girt). I hope that one day this will become necessary reading in Australian classrooms as I am sure it will eventually become a significant piece of our cultural history.
This is more than a funny romp through Australian history. It is comprehensive; it tells the stories of folk from a wide variety of backgrounds, the sad trials and tribulations experienced by the native Aboriginals, who emigrated to the great southern land and why, how cities and towns developed, discusses religious development and even makes an honourable mention of our little cousin to the the east (New Zealand) --- + much much more! This is not a work of apologetics for western civilisation - in fact it exposes the great follies of the Mother Country. Ultimately, this is a book that honours all Australians from all walks of life.
My only concern is that this book is just so Australian, that a non-Australian may not get all the references & lingo immediately - so they should be prepared to take advantage of Google search!
In all, highly recommended. Best book series on Australian history on the market ever. Looking forward to part 3!!

Like "Girt" I laughed and felt sadness
The author does a great job at livening up history with tongue and cheek humor while also capturing the desperation of the aborigines, and the poor migrants. My admiration of Australia as a place who's inhabitants succeeded in the face of strange, far flung events and an often oppressive British government that was far from the goings on of the colony, much like America, has been reinvigorated by Mr. Hunt's writings.

Seriously Fun History
Seriously interesting & funny. Hunt’s recitation of chosen quotes seems reasonablely accurate for their time & place. Hunt clearly distinguishes between fact & his opinion. Hunt reveals historical correlaries between Countries, & explores the evolution of Australia’s distinct identity. Hunt’s writing is equal to Dave Barry’s non-fiction. I quote the author, “It’s funny because it’s true.”.

Australian History Resurrected
With the “baa” of a sheep and the “crack” of the whip, Australian history long dormant and dusty springs to life in the scholarly hands of David Hunt. This must be compulsory listening for anyone interested in Australia! Read by Professor David Hunt, it is a modern tour de force in Australian literary history. I, like many listeners, now fervently hope that David will continue bravely onwards and upwards into the 20th century. David’s knowledge of Australian history and cultural nuance is unmatched!

SO funny, learned a lot
I was laughing so hard through this book, it's read by the author who is a VERY funny guy (great timing) and even though I did not get a lot of the foot note references to modern Australian politicians and current political events in the country (I'm American) ... I still laughed. I then listened it a 2nd time while road tripping through Australia (we drove from Adelaide to Sydney along the coast) with an Aussie friend who was laughing as hard as I had, and said he was learning a lot as well from it... (and every time we got to one of those references I didn't get I'd pause and he explained it)

More Girt
Continuing Australian history(since white settlement) , written in the same style as the other book & also very witty. However, in this is included a chilling account of the agonizing demise of the Aboriginal population of Tasmania. This is an Australian history topic completely ignored in our school curriculum of the 1950's & 60's.
I highly recommend these two books.

Very entertaining history of 19th century Australia.
Entertaining, witty, very interesting, full of current references and full of laughs. A lot of fun. Highly recommend.
