Australia’s National Treasure and undoubtedly one of our most distinguished thinkers, Dame Edna Everage is as entertaining on the page as she is on stage. Take a comedic romp across our nation as Barry Humphries’ alter ego provides a masterly history of 101 quintessential Australian things: from our world-class sharks and marauding possums, our game-changing inventions like the dualflush loo and Hills Hoist, to barbies, eskies, goon, O Words, The Ashes, pink lamingtons, Bex powders, bogans, thongs, uggs and utes – you’ll be amazed at what our sunburnt country has contributed to modern civilisation.
