100 Aussie Things We Know and Love 2nd Edition

100 Aussie Things We Know and Love puts the Australian way of life under a forensic lens, vigorously examining the socio-political underpinnings of the Australian character. 

Nah, just kidding! We'll just take you on a whistle-stop tour through the country's greatest people, places, animals, food, events and cultural quirks.

Ever wondered why magpies attack, or Chiko rolls were invented, who we have to blame for Ugg boots, and what stuff from New Zealand we can legitimately claim as our own*?

*spoiler alert: everything 

Featuring entries and illustrations on 100 unmistakably Australian things (in no apparent order): from the lovable to the naff, this book is a chock-a-block with entertaining and fascinating facts about the things we all know, love or love to hate.

This book is also a best-seller in Museums of History NSW's museum shops.

About the Authors

Bunny Banyai is a copywriter who lives with her two daughters, her stepdaughter and a partner more adept than most at ponytails and plaits. Together with her friend, Madeleine Hamilton, they form a dynamic duo, taking all the love and frustration that comes with motherhood and turning it into witty and practical advice for the modern-day parent.

Anna Blandford grew up in Gippsland, Victoria, on a large sheep farm. Her passions growing up were climbing trees, drawing and hanging out with her cats. After years of travel and a few short-lived careers, Anna and her husband, Gareth, created a greeting card and giftware business called Able and Game.
