    Girt. No word could better capture the essence of Australia ...In this hilarious history, David Hunt reveals the truth of Australias past, from megafauna to Macquarie - the cock-ups and curiosities, the forgotten eccentrics and Eureka moments that have made us who we are. Girt introduces forgotten heroes like Mary McLoghlin, transported for the crime of felony of sock, and Trim the cat, who beat a French monkey to become the first animal to circumnavigate Australia. It recounts the misfortunes of the escaped Irish convicts who set out to walk from Sydney to China, guided only by a hand-drawn paper compass, and explains the role of the coconut in Australias only military coup.Our nations beginnings are steeped in the strange, the ridiculous and the frankly bizarre. Girt proudly reclaims these stories for all of us.Not to read it would be un-Australian.About the author: David Hunt is an unusually tall and handsome man who likes writing his own biographical notes for all the books he has written (one). He has worked as an historical consultant and comedy writer for television, and also has a proper job.A sneaky, sometimes shocking peek under the dirty rug of Australian history. John BirminghamHilarious and insightful -- Hunt has found the deep wells of humour in Australias history. Chris Taylor, The Chaser
