From the first sighting by a wayward buccaneer in 1688 all the way through to the present day, Australia has been influenced by many cultures. Now Tony Robinson (Time Team, Blackadder) uncovers amazing stories of conflicts, hardship and discovery to bring fascinating new insights into the impact that so many nations have had on Australian life. Tony retraces the steps of the earliest explorers, delves into the harrowing stories of the early days of white settlement, finds out how the indigenous Australians responded to their invaders, looks at the turning points in Australia's development and explores the influence of multiculturalism and two world wars on Australia's relationship to Britain.
