Girt. No word could better capture the essence of Australia....
In this hilarious history, David Hunt reveals the truth of Australia's past, from megafauna to Macquarie - the cock-ups and curiosities, the forgotten eccentrics and Eureka moments that have made us who we are.
Girt introduces forgotten heroes like Mary McLoghlin, transported for the crime of "felony of sock", and Trim the cat, who beat a French monkey to become the first animal to circumnavigate Australia.
It recounts the misfortunes of the escaped Irish convicts who set out to walk from Sydney to China, guided only by a hand-drawn paper compass, and explains the role of the coconut in Australia's only military coup.
Our nation's beginnings are steeped in the strange, the ridiculous, and the frankly bizarre. Girt proudly reclaims these stories for all of us.Not to listen to it would be un-Australian.

"A sneaky, sometimes shocking peek under the dirty rug of Australian history." (John Birmingham)
"Hilarious and insightful - Hunt has found the deep wells of humour in Australia's history." (Chris Taylor, The Chaser)
"True Blue History of Australia - Addicted"
This is the greatest history of Australia I've ever read. I used to think Australian history was bland and uneventful, but I was dead wrong - little did I know that I was soon to come into contact with this TRULY GREAT HISTORY. It has piqued my interest in the history of my forefathers. Although this book is selective in its content, it is thought provoking, hilarious, irreverent and is uniquely Australian in its storytelling. It also highlights parallels between Australia's European founding & contemporary issues. I have enjoyed every minute of this audiobook, I don't think I have ever found a book as truly funny as this one.
David Hunt's narrating only further adds to the quality of the story. He does humorous accents, has a conversational manner and brings extra life to this already lively book.
I will definitely listen to this again and again! I am watching and waiting for his coming sequel to this book - and will snap it up as soon as it is made into an audiobook!.
15/15 !!!
If the demeaning opening statements is intended to challenge readers then it has a measure of success.
It is however defacing an otherwise reasonable content.
The wisdom of narrating ones own work is debatable.
Regretfully I did not enjoy this audiobook notwithstanding having a passion for Australia.
"who knew?"
Australian history could actually be interesting? After the years of torment at school learning the boring stuff, oh god please not more tedious explorers, nobody bothered to tell us that the personalities behind this were actually interesting, mostly scandalous, strong willed individuals. Pirates, traitors, self serving corrupt public servants. I was hooked from the start. I am always dubious about the author reading, but either exception of a few dodgy accents, I enjoyed David Hunt's reading. highly recommended.
"Accents unnecessary."
Underneath the relentless sarcasm and terrible foreign accents there is some really interesting historical content.
"Entertaining and informative"
It is not a hard hitting analysis. Rather, it's chronology of light fluff. It's an enjoyable frolic through Australian colonial history.
I did find that in listening too long at one time, the sarcasm and dry ironic wit became a little tiresome. However, dipping in and out was good fun and offered a few lol moments.
"cut to the chase"
having had a long and dull exposure to australian history as a child and student, this fresh take on history draws a full canvas of the absurd and follisome antics of early european "discovery" and settlement of terra australis, a true antipodean view. great fun.
"Fantastically presented "boring aussie history""
Wow we were never taught any of the gritty and often hilarious side of our history. Well worth a listen!
"Too many dad jokes!"
Great informative content but unfortunately not narrated well and peppered with unnecessary (an unfortunately not funny) jokes after almost every sentence!! Why?! This could have been so good but instead my wife and I got 2 hours in and couldn't listen any longer
"Tries to hard"
Some very interesting facts although it tries too hard to be funny. Would have been better without the joke per sentence delivery.
"Typically irreverent."
The tongue in cheek approach to re acquainting me with the iconic historical figures and happenings.
The Rum Rebellion
I was hooked from the start, so, nothing else.
Lots of laughs.
I felt the narration was similar to Bill Bryson
"Where was it when I was at school?"
This wonderful book & it's sequel 'True Girt'(which I've almost finished) are at once informative & very funny. I'm sure that more school students would be interested in history if presented this way. Anyhow, Australian history was one of only a couple of school subjects that I enjoyed over 50 years ago & now I've learnt much more. These books are a scream.
"an enteraining listen about Australia's beginning"
a funny take of Australia's history that is verifiable with mainstream Australian history books. there are critics of his jokes and narrative, which might hold true to the print edition but his reading style and different accents when quoting historical persons is quite engaging. I looked forward to hearing Arthur Phillips and many others 'speak'.
"Seriously irritating voice. Can I get a refund?"
For the first time ever I just couldn't listen. Regular narration voice is OK but the awful voices used for quotes drove me over the edge. Traveling to AU soon so will try the book in print. Love love audio books. Just not this one.
"An overall enjoyable experience"
I wouldn't say brilliant but a fun walk through early colonial Australian history. A nice introduction even for those who know little about the country, and interesting behind the scenes anecdotes for those who do. Bonus points for explaining the origins of many English expressions. But it feels at times like the author is trying too hard to be funny and the tongue-in-cheek tone, pleasant at first, gets repetitive and cumbersome after a few hours. How many times can you make a quip about the French military not being used to winning?
"Absolutely loved it"
Yes, it's hilarious!
It takes characters who are often venerated as founding fathers, and who appear on our national symbols, and humanises them and points out their many flaws and foibles.
"A fun history of Australia"
David Hunt's narration and writing are side splitting and so enjoyable that I'm off to read another history of Australia doubtless much less enlightening to compare notes. However for a foreigner visiting the country it provides a refreshing taster.
"Good first half"
After the first 3hrs, the novelty starts to wear off a bit. Lots of names and locations
"must have book of the year !!"
this is the one book youMUST have in your library this year. Funny, sarcastic history of thr ' land down under ' performed by the author with much humour and wit. This will have you laughing out loud when you least expect it. Cannot wait for the sequel.
"A breeze through Aussie history"
I have an Aussie girlfriend and am about to move there so I thought I'd better learn something. This was entertaining and informative. If Bill Bryson did a book on Australia, it probably wouldn't be as good as this one!
"Silly history"
Absolutely , the book was short and I gave me a great insight into very early Australian history. I wasn't expecting it to only be about this early period and that later periods would e in subsequent books so that I will listen again when the promised Girt II: True Girt comes out.
Not appropriate to this book but I would have to say the Bastard himself William Bligh every time it came to one of his interludes.
Yes but I found the accent very thick, I don't mean his natural Australian accent but whenever he tried British accents the book became more than a little incomprehensible
About as Australian as History can get!
Don't take it all to seriously, there are things wrong here that I know of British history so I am sure there is some wrong for Australia's history to but the whole thing taught me much I never knew about Australia and the book presented it all in a very fun way that made it all the more memorable

"From the pitch-perfect opening paragraph to the heartbreaking final pages, the narrative peels back layers of revelation, deftly ratcheting up the tension and horror to a series of shattering climaxes. Delicious." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review
This debut urban fantasy, set in an England where magic is real, the first entry in The Demon's Lexicon Trilogy, starts with a bang. One minute Nick is fixing the sink in the kitchen while his older brother cooks. The next mintues the two are fighting for their lives, Nick with a sword and Alan with a gun, against an unkindness of ravens and a powerful magician. Killing the magician stops the attack, but it is a temporary respite. The two teens are demon slayers, in hiding to protect their ailing mother, an escaped magician. Now that Black Arthur has found them, flight is their only hope; however, before they can flee, a teenage girl asks for their help. Her younger brother has a three-tiered demon mark, a sentence of death, unless it can be removed. Nick's priority is to protect his brother, who has looked after him since their father was killed by demons. But Alan decides to share the demon marks, leaving Nick no choice but to find the magicians responisble. Until then, Mae and Jamie will have to flee and fight beside them.
Nonstop action, nail-biting supsense, clever rapartee, and a knockout secret involving the two brothers will keep readers on the edges of their seats. There is resolution at the end, but it is just the first stage of the battle. More dangerous challenges await these two intrepid fighters in The Demon's Covenant. Fans of the paranormal and the Supernatural television series are going to enjoy the adventures of these demon-fighting brothers, but so will aficionados of sharp writing, complex characters, fast-paced plots, teen angst, and the struggle between good and evil.
----VOYA April 2010
Sixteen-year-old Nick and his brother, Alan, are always ready to run. Their father is dead, and their mother is crazy--she screams if Nick gets near her. She's no help in protecting any of them from the deadly magicians who use demons to work their magic. The magicians want a charm that Nick's mother stole--and they want it badly enough to kill. Alan is Nick's partner in demon slaying and the only person he trusts in the world. So things get very scary and very complicated when Nick begins to suspect that everything Alan has told him about their father, their mother, their past, and what they are doing is a complete lie. . . .

Innocent young people are being locked up in secure children's homes. This is not new – but it should be shocking. Such homes are supposed to be places of incarceration for those convicted of crimes. However, in recent years, an increasing number of children within these institutions are guilty only of being vulnerable. The numbers may be small – just under 250 children are held at any one time in secure children's homes in England and Wales – but of these almost half have been placed there for their own welfare.
Their presence is increasingly down to fear. Local authorities, frightened that the next child grooming or neglect scandal will happen on their watch, are taking places in secure children's homes for the more difficult charges in their care.
These are often young people with mental health and addiction issues. Many lead chaotic lives, making them difficult to monitor and support. Understandably, obtaining the consent of a judge for them to be placed in a secure children's home, for up to three months at a time, may seem like the "least bad" way of ensuring they do not slip through society's safety net.
But incarceration is unlikely to resolve the complex societal and psychological problems that rendered them vulnerable in the first place.
While they may receive therapy and counselling while inside, it has to be asked whether any of the benefits that come from this can outweigh the terrible price extracted by the deprivation of their liberty.
Putting children, who often feel that they are to blame for their troubles, behind bars simply serves to punish them for their problems. No compassionate society would advocate this.
It is true that such decisions to incarcerate the innocent are not made lightly by local authorities and judges, but often they have few options.
There is a dearth of specialist foster carers who are trained to work with children at risk of physical and sexual exploitation. There are few specialist safe houses where they can be relocated away from the threats posed by gangs. Ultimately, it comes down to a question of resources. How much as a society are we prepared to pay for their recovery? It is to be applauded that more children at risk of harm are being identified. These are the lost children who have been "found". Incarceration risks losing them a second time.

LAHORE: The Emirates airline plans to file a suit over the damages caused to its reputation by the enforced diversion of its plane carrying Dr Tahirul Qadri on Monday.
Official sources told Dawn that the airline had told the Civil Aviation Authority that it had been upset by the diversion of its flight EK-612 Dubai-Islamabad to Lahore, causing a great deal of inconvenience to passengers on the plane and those waiting at the airport to fly to Dubai.
The plane was scheduled to reach Islamabad at 8am on Monday and return to Dubai at 9.30am after picking passengers.
Related: Plane diversion was Rafiq's idea
But the government did not allow the aircraft to land at Islamabad to foil Dr Qadri's plan to go to Lahore by road to demonstrate his political strength.
"The Emirates pilots were shocked to receive the 'order' to take the plane to Lahore because there was no issue of weather or airport occupancy," sources said.
Because of the diversion of the plane, it missed its scheduled departure to Dubai from Islamabad.
After it left for Islamabad in the evening, the Emirates administration informed the CAA that it intended to file for damages.
The sources said the airline was also considering to "blacklist" Dr Qadri.
"An airliner blacklists a person who puts the lives of other passengers in jeopardy or causes them inconvenience by his action," a CAA official said.
The PIA blacklisted some 10 people for their behaviour leading to diversion of its flight from Manchester to Stansted Airport last year.
The official said he believed that the Emirates would not consider suspending its flight operation to Pakistan because it had good business here.
However, CAA spokesperson Abid Kaimkhani said he was not aware of any warning by the Emirates. "The airline might have contacted the local (Lahore-based) administration of the CAA. But I have no knowledge of it," he said.

A Life Once Lived
In life there are no beginnings as also there are no endings. Well, I guess that isn't true, because there was a day my life did begin and there will once again be a day that my life will end. Regardless, life is broken up in sections or "chapters," however you never truly know when one chapter has ended and the next has begun until the next chapter is already in play. My life is no different.
I grew up as the eldest of seven children. Really the eldest of eight children, one of which passed when he was very young and before most of my siblings ever came into being. When I was very young it was me, my mother, and my grandparents. Much happened during this chapter in my life, but I was very young. My next chapter began when my mother met my step father. The next perhaps was when my first sibling was born and then the next. All of those chapters faded one into the other, with very gray areas. When my brother passed it was a major change in direction.
My step-father was abusive, and this truly caused many issues that followed my family on into adulthood. I wonder, however, how much did the loss of Stephen, the loss of my brother create a change in even those who never met him? I remember him in life, but unfortunately the memories etched forever in my brain are those sitting in a funeral parlor. I was seven when he passed away. I don't know if I truly understood what death was. But there he was laying in a small casket on display in the front of a room.
For months after this funeral I would pretend that I was talking to him on the playground during recess after lunch. He became my imaginary friend. It is hard to remember a lot from that time. Things came and went so quickly, because not too long after his death came another life. Christopher came along the February following Stephen's death in November. This, however is another story to be told another time...

How does this organization make a difference?
Self-reported by organization
In 2013, following a 10-year initiative, the building of LHA's Greenheart Families Park and Community Center came to fruition and was opened to the public. This center provides Santa Ana communities a place to gather and engage in activities that promote health and community participation. After the grand opening, LHA utilized the Park and Community Center as the mid-point of a circuit route of an initiative called the ""Wellness Corridor."" The Wellness Corridor promotes healthier living by using non-traditional open spaces to create accessible urban fitness walking and biking routes. The Wellness Corridor kick-off event was held in November, 2013 and was a big success thanks to many stakeholders such as small businesses and local government, LHA staff, volunteers, and community members' engagement and participation, helping to create neighborly relationships. LHA continues to strengthen community relationships and build new ones through efforts like these. At the end of 2013, LHA was offered a donation from local stakeholders of building renovations to LHA's newly owned headquarters. Partnerships like these enable LHA and the community to make an impact on public health. LHA has built successful programs in two areas: 1) health education and promotion, and 2) civic engagement in local, state, and national advocacy campaigns. This year, our goal is to bridge these areas that will propel individuals and families forward while addressing immediate needs. We aim to change our organizational structure and break down programmatic silos by re-shaping internal boundaries to improve coordination among programs to maximize effectiveness. Ultimately, we aim to increase organizational synergy to maximize our impact by strengthening programmatic capacity that will lead to more civically engaged families. To support these efforts, LHA will focus on obtaining core support funding to ensure financial security for the implementation, and enhancement, of LHA programs and services.

Program 1
Children and Youth Initiative
The overall program objectives are to: 1) Improve the health of enrolled children and youth, and their families, through culturally and linguistically appropriate education and activities promoting nutrition, physical activity, how to access affordable healthcare, and other health topics; 2) Significantly increase the social, leadership and academic skills of enrolled children and youth through projects and activities in the areas of civic engagement, communication, public speaking, and math and reading; and 3) Improve the health of families by training children and youth to effectively diffuse information on nutrition, physical activity, how to access affordable healthcare, and other health topics.
Program long term success
60% of children will maintain leadership skills, be involved in civic participation, and promote health.
Program success monitored by
Outcomes for youth and parents are tracked related to improvements in youth leadership and social skills, youth academic progress, increased participation of parents in their children's activities, and increased community opportunities for youth. An observational checklist completed by the parent measures changes in academic progress. An observational checklist completed by staff measures leadership competencies.
Program success examples

Population(s) Served
Children Only (5 - 14 years)
Program 2
Healthy Weight/Peso Saludable
The Healthy Weight, or Peso Saludable, program provides the nutritional education and tools for families with children 6-13 years old to make necessary lifestyle changes in order to prevent the onset of obesity and chronic diseases. This program includes: 1) Eight-week, three hours sessions including physical activity, 2) At least 1 on-on-one session with a community health worker, or Promotor, and 3) At least two follow-up face-to-face home visits within three to six months after graduation.
Program long term success
60% of overweight or obese children graduating from the program will continue lowering or maintaining their BMI at graduation and after follow-up.
Program success monitored by
BMI measurements are taken for each child at the beginning and end of the class series and after follow-up. Parents self-report behavior changes in children related to improved nutrition and increased physical activity at home.
Program success examples
A mother attended the classes with two of her children, both overweight. The youngest has heart problems. In a handwritten testimony, the mother expressed how much learning about portions, grains, labels, sugary drinks, and exercise has helped her keep her boys in a healthier weight and physically active. Health has become an important subject for her and she is aware that if her children gain weight they will be prone to health problems. Her biggest worry is for the child with heart problems. She knows that if this boy gains weight his heart will have to work harder and health consequences will arise.

Program 3
Diabetes Self Management
The Latino Health Access (LHA) Diabetes Self-Management Program (DSM) is a 12-week, award-winning educational program that helps low-income uninsured Latinos achieve significant improvements in their Hemoglobin A1c, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels.The program consists of peer led education sessions, combined with access to health care specialty services and resources to assist participants with the management or prevention of the disease. The educational sessions encourage active participation through examples, role-playing, hands on food demonstrations, and exercise classes. The healthcare specialty services consist of a consultation with a Registered Dietician, a comprehensive eye exam, and a foot exam. The program focuses on two critical areas of need that aid in long-term diabetes self-management: 1) Extra care for participants having difficulty in achieving results in HgA1c levels, and 2) Follow-up HgA1c, blood pressure, and cholesterol screenings for DSM graduates.
Program long term success
At least 50% participants will maintain or reduce their Hemoglobin A1C values after two months from completing the 12 week program. The DSM programs long term goal is to reduce diabetes related complications across the lifespan.

In addition, participant's visits to specialty healthcare services will be entered into a database.

The CageSport XXI card will air on ROOT SPORTS Friday, October 5 from 10-11 pm, Friday, October 12 midnight-1 am and Sunday, October 21 11 pm-midnight.
The card takes place Saturday evening at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma. Doors open at 6 and the first fight is at 7.
With a total of ten professional bouts scheduled, CageSport XXI features five undefeated fighters including Brent Knopp, Brandon Dudley, Emmanuel Sanchez, Jacob Boysen and Julian Erosa, along with stars such as Brandon Pitts, Sean Villalva and Ryan Mulvihill.
In addition to an exciting night of action, fans will be treated to expert commentary from a special trio of broadcasters.
The always-entertaining Danny Bonaduce became a star during his childhood as a member of the hit TV show The Partridge Family. Bonaduce participated in several celebrity boxing events, competing against famed attorney Robert Shapiro, actor Barry Williams of the Brady Bunch and former MLB MVP Jose Canseco, who was 100 lbs heavier and 1 foot taller than him. Bonaduce can currently be heard during morning drive time on Seattles KZOK 102.5 FM in Seattle and is a part of the hit TV series Worlds Dumbest.
Known for his unbelievable MMA knowledge, Jeff Osborne is a former UFC announcer who later played an integral part in the rise of womens MMA. In addition to being involved in early matches of Frank Mir, Mike Brown and Jon Fitch, Osborne promoted the first ever all-female MMA card in 2002, drawing more than 1,800 fans.
Ironically, future Fighter of the Year and two-time world champion Miesha Cupcake Tate was one of the bouts featured on Osbornes all-female card. Born and bred in Tacoma, Tates match with Rhonda Rousey on the Showtime Network was the most watched womens fight in history.
Im very happy ROOT SPORTS is going to play the fights on three separate occasions, said promoter Brian Halquist of Halquist Productions. We have a lot of hardcore fight fans whove been waiting for something like this for awhile and I believe theyll tune in to watch the best fighters that CageSport has to offer.
Tickets are available on or by going to the Emerald Queen box office. For more information and the latest updates, go to or
