For 60,000 years the rest of the world had pretty much left Australia and its Aboriginal nations alone. Then it became a home for Britain's criminals and poor. Now a con man had found gold and suddenly everyone was heading to Australia: adventurers, revolutionaries, camels... Australia would never be the same.
Join the heroes and villains of the past as they hunt for nuggets, struggle across unknown deserts and triumph in one of the greatest engineering marvels the world has ever seen, in the next action-packed instalment of Fair Dinkum Histories! It's history as you've never seen it before.

Rotters and Squatters
continues the warts-and-all story of Australia from 1820 to 1850.
This period saw new colonies founded and squatters spreading into new areas and taking the best land. Clashes with the Indigenous population were inevitable and often brutal. As the supply of convict labour dried up, free settlers began arriving and the demand for self-government grew.

The Australian colonies had come a long way since they were a dumping ground for grim crims and convicts. Life was comfortable—at least for some. But soon drought would send swaggies waltzing their matildas along the roads, and bad times would make politicians dream of uniting the country into one nation. And then a far-off war would create a different kind of digger. What they brought back home would make greater changes to Australia than gold ever did.
Meet the scabs and the swaggies, battling politicians, doddering generals, sheep stealers and heroic diggers who finally turned us into a nation!

It turns out that the Gold Rush was mostly smelly, dirty, filthy and just yuck. Welcome to the most STINKY look at Australia yet!

World War II is over, and it's a good time to be Australian. Rock 'n' roll, television and the Olympics have come down under. But underneath it all is the menace of the Cold War, and the horrors of Korea and Vietnam. Why can't we all just get along? Covers a pivotal time in Australia's history, as ideologies clash and a new national identity is evolving.

The Indigenous people of Australia have lived here for tens of thousands of years. They survived the Ice age and ancient global warming. They saw oceans sink and oceans rise. They watched the mega-beasts disappear and dingoes arrive. Theirs is the oldest civilization in the world.
Then along came the Dutch. And the Portuguese. And the British. Things would never be the same again.

Telling BITS of history as they really were! In 1788, beautiful Australia became a prison as England sent their convicts to the new colony on crowded, smelly ships. And when they arrived, they brought the stink with them. Life as a convict was tough—flogging was frequent, food was scarce, and they knew almost nothing about farming. Let alone their new home. Life as a convict stank—in every way! Welcome to the most STINKY look at Australia yet!
