‘Australian history is almost always picturesque, indeed it is so curious and strange, that it is itself the chiefest novelty the country has to offer. It does not read like history but like the most beautiful lies.
And all of a fresh sort, not mouldy old stale ones. It is full of surprises, and adventures and incongruities, and incredibilities, but they are all true, they all happened.’
- MARK TWAIN (1897)
from a plaque on Sydney Harbour Writers’ Walk
at Circular Quay,
beneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
