About this ebook
We are what we eat, watch, buy, read, love, play.
It's been a long step in a short time from meat pies, football, kangaroos and Holden cars to iPods, lattes, iPods, climate change and MasterChef.
David Dale chronicles how it happened in this definitive reference book about the carefree country. Instead of boasting about what makes Australia great, The Little Book of Australia explains what makes us unique - for better and for worse.
Here is everything you need to know about the anthropology of the Australian tribe. Common and uncommon knowledge about the myths, attitudes, jokes and journeys that make us Aussies, it's a treasure trove for any visitor - and for all 22,140,000 of us.

About the author
David Dale trained in clinical psychology, but decided he would do less harm to the cause of mental health if he went into journalism. He has become one of our foremost commentators on the psychology of Australians. His recent books have included The Perfect Journey, The 100 Things Everyone Loves About The 20th Century, and Soffritto - A delicious Ligurian memoir.
