Girt by David Hunt

The Unauthorised History of Australia

A witty, irreverent retelling of Australia’s early history, blending sharp satire with solid research to puncture national myths; it follows explorers, convicts, governors, soldiers, and scoundrels from early European encounters through the convict era and the Rum Corps, exposing corruption, brutality, folly, and accidental genius while spotlighting the darkly comic moments and contradictions that shaped a rough-and-tumble colony.
