A year-by-year arrangement of historical events, and the achievements of notable Australians in areas including sport, science and entertainment.In Australia in 1932, some of the many events which occurred included, the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the death of Phar Lap, the establishment of the ABC and the painting of Boy at the Basin. Anthony Barker has compiled a year-by-year reference work of this type of event in Australia. You can browse and see what was going on in any one year, or, if you want to find out when something happened (for instance, when women got the vote in Australia) the index will direct you to the spot. The index itself has sub-entries and cross-references, lists of prime ministers, premiers, governors and Melbourne Cup winners, and the entries for individuals (which provide full names, maiden names and pseudonyms, as well as occupations and dates of birth and death).
