Published to commemorate Queensland's 150 years as a separate colony and later a state, Made in Queensland: A New History captures the defining moments of Queensland's rich history and is a compelling exploration of who we are and how we got there.
Extensively researched and generously illustrated with more than 90 images, Made in Queensland reveals the true spirit of its people, celebrating the extraordinary diversity of its landscape along with the breadth of its intellectual and physical resources.
The book is a collaboration between three historians – Professor Ross Fitzgerald, Lyndon Megarrity and David Symons – and it offers a fresh and lively perspective on the social, political and economic history of Queensland with a strong focus on the State's identity.
Exploring the rich culture of its earliest Indigenous inhabitants, Made in Queensland charts the evolution of Queensland from its formal separation from New South Wales in 1859 to its recent history, incorporating the people, politics, events and Queensland's greatest achievements.
Made in Queensland is published by The University of Queensland Press.
It is available in a limited edition hardcover for $59.95 and paperback for $45.00 in all good bookstores.
