| How did a remote island, with hardly any population for its size, earn renown as a nation of innovators, from stump-jump plough and Hills hoist to Interscan navigator and microsurgery, from the ute and two-stroke mower to gene shears and the bionic ear? |
|
| Fine by Morning is a book full of clues to this and many other questions about the way Australians came to be who they are - clues given in a lively, inspiring, heart-warming story. | |
|
Fine by Morning is a story of courageous adventure, fierce adversity, star-crossed lovers, family devotion (and villainy!), endurance rewarded, and the emergence of a new nation upon earth. |
|
| Fine by Morning grew out of more than 300 interviews with people all over Australia; delving into letters and diaries written between 1893 and 1963; memories of people and events during the years that made the country and the people of today. |
