SECONDHAND BOOK
How does a scattered population come to regard itself as one people? By what process does it become aware of, and in harmony with, its physical and cultural background?
In search for the beginnings of an Australian national tradition, some would say that too much attention has been pad to one decade—the nineties. They would say that the tradition grew in various ways, in the whole sixty years between the Eureka and Anzac.
But whether one takes the long or the short view about causes, it was during the intensely active nineties that the real national impulse came to a head. There was heard an Australian voice, and an Australia character and sense of community were felt. Without it, Federation would have been meaningless, and perhaps impossible.
Vance Palmer has examined the legend of the nineties and given us a book which must be read by all who would understand the Australian character and tradition.
