This delightful anthology gathers the sharpest, wittiest, and most irreverent sayings from across Australian public life, literature, politics, and larrikin culture, presenting a nation that has long understood the power of a well-placed wisecrack. From the sardonic observations of bush poets to the cutting barbs of parliamentarians, each quote captures a distinctly Australian voice — dry, self-deprecating, and utterly unafraid to puncture pomposity.\n\nWannan, a celebrated chronicler of Australian folklore and humour, brings his formidable knowledge of the national character to bear on every page, assembling a collection that is as culturally revealing as it is consistently entertaining. The Great Australian Book of Humorous Quotes stands as both a time capsule of the Australian wit and a testament to the enduring national tradition of finding comedy in the face of adversity. Whether you dip in for a single chuckle or read cover to cover, this volume will leave you wondering just how much of Australian history was written with a smirk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203287163099,"sku":"2026100009763-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/875b695a-b9ac-4571-85d5-04248ffed3ca.png?v=1788147606","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009763-secondhand-the-great-australian-book-of-humorous-quotes","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
