History

To review the passing of events and make judgements is healthy and wise. Our ability to review and reflect on the Australian nation moving from a monarchy to a republic is timely at the turn of the 21st Century and after 200 years of monarchy. Australia, black and white is in the autumn of an Australian monarchy moving to independent nation status
