From the ancient landscapes shaped by the world's oldest living cultures to the modern corridors of Canberra's parliament, The Cambridge History of Australia presents the most comprehensive and authoritative account of the Australian continent ever assembled in two volumes. Volume 1, Indigenous and Colonial Australia, chronicles the deep Indigenous heritage of the continent alongside the tumultuous era of European settlement, while Volume 2, The Commonwealth of Australia, details the dramatic political, social, and cultural transformations that forged a modern nation from federation to the present day. Edited by distinguished historians Alison Bashford and Stuart Macintyre, this landmark two-volume set brings together leading scholars across disciplines to present a richly layered portrait of a nation unlike any other. The work argues that Australian history cannot be understood without placing Indigenous experience at its very centre, a bold and long-overdue scholarly stance that reframes the entire national narrative. Written with both academic rigour and narrative clarity, it stands as an indispensable reference for students, historians, and anyone curious about what lies beneath the surface of the world's island continent — and what it might yet become.
