`Kingston ends with a personal credo about the nature of historical
change in general and the continuities that connect the Australian
past with the 1980s. In a nicely proportioned and idiosyncratic
account, written in unstuffy, questioning prose, she captures the
period with considerable artistry: stronger on description and
evocation than explanation but bubbling with ideas.'
Social History Society Bulletin
`a lively and opinionated account which non-Australian readers will
find particularly accessible and intriguing as a guide to the last
truly colonial days of British Australia. ... a lively summation of
much modern scholarship'
