description: This thoroughly revised Companion (first published in 1998) is immensely readable and entertaining with a range of curious and unexpected entries, such as those on duels, two-up, Vegemite, and the six o'clock swill. Thoroughly cross-referenced for easy access to all information, this volume contains many new entries as well as revisions on existing entries. This is a superb reference for all Australians as well as those interested in Australian history.
