The Nation

Australia is many things. It is a vast brown land stretching from the tropics to the icy Southern Ocean. It is a population made up of many cultures and languages. It is a collection of plants and animals found nowhere else in the world. And Australia is a nation, small but wealthy, ruled by the people in a democracy. This excellent series uses comprehensive text supported by photographs, illustrations and labelled diagrams, timelines, quotes and other primary source materials, to explore a range of viewpoints about what Australia is.
