Steam Australia is so much
more than a history. It is
about the great tapestry
of transport weaved by the
steam locomotive, and Tim
details how the nation was
galvanised with economic
growth delivered by steam.
---------------------------------------------
Mutiny on the Bounty is a
sprawling, dramatic tale
of intrigue, bravery and
sheer boldness, told with
the accuracy of historical
detail and total command
of story that are Peter
FitzSimons’ trademarks.

disappearing. TV columnist,

eye on the history
of Australia to bust
open the national
mythology, reveal

what it means to
be an Australian

happened to all our
best-laid plans.

New Jerusalem is
a story of religious
obsession and
persecution, of noble
ideals trampled
to dust...all in the
name of Christ. The
story holds a terrible
fascination in our
own time, on the
500th anniversary
of the Reformation.
