L'Australia ha celebrato cento anni come nazione nel 2001. Questo libro, in parte storia, in parte diario di viaggio, in parte memorie, racconta la storia stimolante di come un'ex colonia britannica di detenuti si sia trasformata in un paese prospero e sicuro di sé. Attraverso gli occhi della gente comune, Phillip Knightley descrive il viaggio dell'Australia, dalla federazione e dal trauma della prima guerra mondiale, alla povertà disperata della Depressione, con i suoi spettri di eserciti segreti e una guerra quasi civile, alla minaccia di invasione nella seconda guerra mondiale e all'immigrazione che ne seguì, e al lento ma costante declino del rapporto con la Gran Bretagna, la "madrepatria", mentre l'Australia forgiava la sua identità unica.
