  Why were the Swing rioters transported to Australia. Where was evidence of the earliest known example of cremation in the world found? Who were the members of the Three Elevens ? How did the Angry Penguins acquire their name? The answers to these and thousands of other questions can be found in this revised and updated edition of a popular reference book. Now illustrated with a wide range of maps, photographs, and cartoons, the dictionary has entries on the major people, events, places, institutions, ideas, artefacts, and documents that have shaped Australian history from prehistory to the 1990s.
