Australian History Resources, please! - The Firearms Forum

hey jack, could you point me to some good resources for Australian history? i've heard you say in the past that the U.S. and Australia are developmentally, historically, and culturally very similar, so i thought i'd look more into Australia's history and compare it with ours.

resources don't have to be online, they can be books and documentaries that i might find at the library. actually, i would prefer physical resources, as something i can hold in my hands can't be edited and corrupted by some greenie punk with a laptop.

any help in this area would be accepted with gratitude, thanks
