Download Girt: The Unauthorised History of Australia AudioBook Free
Girt. No term could better take the essence of Australia.... In this particular hilarious record, David Hunt shows the truth of Australia's history, from megafauna to Macquarie - the cock-ups and curiosities, the ignored eccentrics and Eureka occasions that have made us who we have been. Girt introduces ignored heroes like Mary McLoghlin, transferred for the criminal offenses of "felony of sock", and Trim the cat, who defeat a French monkey to be the first dog to circumnavigate Australia. It recounts the misfortunes of the escaped Irish convicts who attempt to walk from Sydney to China, led only by way of a hand-drawn newspaper compass, and talks about the role of the coconut in Australia's only armed forces coup. Our nation's origins are steeped in the strange, the absurd, and the frankly bizarre. Girt proudly reclaims these experiences for all those. Not to listen to it would be un-Australian.
