GENERAL HISTORIES OF THE PERIOD
In nearly all cases of individually mentioned Australians, the admirable online Australian Dictionary of Biography, founded and maintained by the Australian National University, was throughout the writing of this history are most valuable resource, though for the vast majority of Australians dealt with in this narrative other sources were also consulted. I shall not therefore mention case-by-case recourse to Australian Dictionary of Biography, but acknowledge my enthusiastic thanks for it once and for all here.
Another highly appreciated reference which I acknowledge but mention once and for all here is Graeme Davison, John Hirst, Stuart Macintyre (eds), The Oxford Companion to Australian History (South Melbourne 2001).
There also exists a debt to general histories of Australia, including: Geoffrey Blainey, A Shorter History of Australia (Melbourne 1994); Geoffrey Bolton, The Oxford History of Australia, Volume 5: The middle way, 1942–95 (Melbourne 1995); Manning C Clark, A Short History of Australia (London 1964); Frank Crowley (ed), A New History of Australia (Melbourne 1974); David Day, Claiming a Continent: A new history of Australia (Sydney 1996); Stuart Mcintyre, The Oxford History of Australia, Volume 4: The succeeding age 1901–1942 (Melbourne 1993); Stuart Macintyre, A Concise History of Australia (Melbourne 2004); Ernest Scott, A Short History of Australia (Melbourne, 1936); Frank Welsh, Great Southern Land: A new history of Australia (Melbourne, 2004).
