The Shortest History of Australia
About
Join historian Mark McKenna for a compelling exploration of his latest book, The Shortest History of Australia. In this powerful and deeply humane history, McKenna offers a new version of our national story: a modern Australia permeated by First Nations history; a multicultural society with an island mindset; a continent of epic beauty and extreme natural events; a country obsessed by war abroad but blind to its founding war at home; and a thriving nation-state still to realise its political independence.McKenna’s wise and humane history reveals the surprising in the familiar, reframing the past so we can see the present more clearly.
Hosted by writer and journalist, Jack Latimore (Birpai-Thungutti).
Free event. Suitable for ages 15 and up.
