The Water Dreamers: The Remarkable History of Our Dry Continent.

Abstract

MICHAEL Cathcart was born in Melbourne. He teaches Australian History at the University of Melbourne and has presented various shows on ABC radio and television. I have spent many mornings listening to him on Radio National where he brings knowledge and fairness to his interviews, furthering my belief that academics need more media exposure– –all credit to him. He has published broadly including an abridgement of Manning Clark’s epic A History of Australia and an anthology of Australian Speeches.
