What do explorer Robert O'Hara Burke, bushranger Ned Kelly, Eureka stockade leader Peter Lalor and Prime Minister Ben Chifley have in common? Like millions of other Australians, they are of Irish ancestry.

The Irish have been part of Australian history since the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. This book brings together a collection of rare and precious objects, documents, paintings, drawings and photographs to tell one of Australia's greatest stories: the true history of the Irish in Australia.
