Australians From Everywhere presents a richly illustrated social history that chronicles the unconventional individuals who shaped Australia’s early identity—rogues, misfits, and adventurers drawn from across the globe. The book details the lives of convicts, gold seekers, bushrangers, and reformers, arguing that Australia’s national character was forged not by conformity but by resilience, rebellion, and reinvention. Through archival photographs, biographical sketches, and thematic essays, the authors instruct readers in the cultural collisions and social experiments that defined colonial and post-colonial society. It uncovers the tensions between authority and independence, illustrating how outsiders became architects of a new civic order. Boldly presented in large-format with vivid visual documentation, the volume stands as a compelling tribute to Australia’s diverse and defiant foundations.
