Australia is a country of contradictions: at the same time people were killing members of the LGBTQ+ community in Sydney, authority figures were hiding paedophiles and everyday Australians were celebrating the cinematic masterpiece that is The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

In this book, we travel along that scale, as well as visit some of Australia's largest icons, such as Steve Irwin, the cast of Play School, and the terrifying outback stalker known as Thylactos Plummetus.

We revisit the collective trauma of Black Summer with its younger brother, Black Saturday, as well as examine the 30-year curse of Darwin with the 1942 Bombing of the city by the Japanese in World War II, and the 1974 Christmas Day Cyclone.
