Ednapedia: A History of Australia in a Hundred Objects

It`s very rare that we see the emergence of a completely original idea in the world of books. Dame Edna Everage`s masterly history of Australian civilization is one such idea, and, possums, you will never think of historical writing in the same way again. `From our dainty gum nuts and towering Uluru to our world-class sharks and Opera House, marauding possums and poets, taking in game-changing inventions such as the dual-flush toilet and zinc cream, you will be amazed at what our sunburnt country has contributed to modern civilization.` Barbies. Bex powders. Bogans. Feral Koalas. The immortal pink Lamington, Australia`s contribution to world patisserie. Plastic banknotes. Thongs, Uggs and utes. Not to speak of the Great Barrier Reef, goon and Nellie Melba. One of the world`s most distinguished thinkers and cultural personalities, Dame Edna Everage has inspired generations of Australian artists and icons, from Germaine Greer and Peter Carey to Kylie Minogue and Shane Warne.
