Welcome to Litsy!

Talks about the interesting colonial times of the Lucky Country 🦘, where James Cook thought Downunder was Indonesia because it just lies on Indian Ocean 🌊, but it was beautiful Australia (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)..Keeping read the two books 📚 are free on Kindle Unlimited✌️

Will give this a pick, but also a warning, this is a very tongue in cheek telling of Australian history and is in no way politically correct. This book tells from the prehistory of the aboriginal people, to early exploration through to the establishment of the penal colony at Sydney ending with the recall of Governor Macquarie. And a sordid history it is, drunken orgies, extermination of the original inhabitants and the corruption of the Rum Corp

Did not know this even though I have lived in Sydney for 25+ years

Heard a lot about this book and then Audible Australia had it as a free download this month. Hooray! This is a great book on Audio. Very amusing and is a legit history that includes indigenous populations. Really like this one. Although I could do without the accents. He is doing them for all nationalities but still a little .....

I have mixed feelings about this book. It was amusing and informative, but at times felt racially insensitive. Perhaps it was the audio versions attempt at 'voices' that made me cringe more than once.

Im enjoying this. It's a nice laid back look at our history 🇦🇺

Audible are giving this one away for free in Australia 🇦🇺
