Presented by the Australian Bicentennial Authority, this landmark volume chronicles the sweeping panorama of Australian life — from the ancient Indigenous custodians of the land to the vibrant, multicultural society that emerged over two centuries of settlement, struggle, and triumph.\n\nDrawing on a rich tapestry of historical paintings, photographs, and cultural records, the work presents an authoritative portrait of a nation in full — its rugged landscapes, its pioneering spirit, and the diverse peoples who have shaped it. More than a commemorative volume, it argues for an understanding of Australia's national character as something forged in the tension between tradition and change, leaving the reader to wonder which face of Australia is yet to be revealed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130475946203,"sku":"2026100008011-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2bf191a0-0c9d-481f-90cb-e1c305a20771.png?v=1786585809","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008011-secondhand-the-face-of-australia-the-land-the-people-the-past-the-present","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
