In recent years, Australia has witnessed both triumph and tragedy: from the success of the 2000 Sydney Olympics to the tragedies of the Bali bombings and the tsunami that struck Australia's neighbours in the Indian Ocean in 2004. The Australia spirit, however, has emerged even more robust and resolute after such events. This book is a celebration of that spirit, a small reminder to us of what a wonderful country we live in and to keep that spirit of Australia alive... and firing.
