Description:


Australia and its formation - through the distorted view of a rum bottle.


Could the Rum Rebellion have been averted if Major Johnston wasn't hungover?

Would the Eureka Stockade have been different if the rebels weren't pissed?

How were prisoners to get drunk if Macquarie closed the only pub in the gaol?

And why should sailors under fourteen be deprived of their sixteen shots of rum per day?

These are just some of the questions raised in Matt Murphy's account of Australia's colonial history. Brimming with detailed research and irreverent character sketches, Rum looks at not just how much was drunk in colonial Australia (a lot!), but also the lengths people went to get their hands on it, the futile efforts of the early governors to control it, and the often disastrous and/or absurd consequences of its consumption.

Those consequences aren't just in our past. Murphy goes beyond foundation stories to look at the legacy our love affair with alcohol has created, from binge drinking to lockout laws and from prohibition to urinating on the parliamentary carpet.

So here's to Rum, for making bad decisions look like a good idea at the time.

My Favourite Body Lotion
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I love this lotion so much. It's not greasy, and very moisturizing. The fragrance is amazing and smells delicious ! Unfortunately 2 out of 3 of the bottles had broken pumps when I tried to open them. I wish there were more for the price, so I switched to the Amazon Basics version. Is good for all skin types! The amount in the bottle is decent.

Smooth and Radiant
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I have been using the Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Lotion for a while now, and it is easily my favorite for keeping my skin hydrated. This 3 count pack is a fantastic value for anyone who wants to maintain a consistent glow without constantly running to the store. Why This is My Go To: Deep Hydration: The combination of Pure Cocoa Butter and Ultra Hydrating Lipids really works. It penetrates deep to heal dry skin rather than just sitting on top. The Perfect Glow: It gives my skin a natural, radiant finish that looks healthy. It’s perfect for summer or whenever I want my skin to look its best. No Greasy Residue: One of the best parts is how quickly it absorbs. I can apply it and get dressed immediately without feeling sticky or oily. Amazing Scent: The cocoa fragrance is warm and comforting. It smells high quality and lingers just enough to be pleasant throughout the day. Final Verdict: If you are looking for a reliable, everyday lotion that actually delivers on its promise of smooth, vibrant skin, this is it. The 20.3 Oz pump bottles are super convenient for daily use, and the formula is a lifesaver for dry skin.

A moisturizer for all types of skin
Size: 1.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: New and Improved Formula!
My favorite cream! I have oily skin prone to acne and I use this at night. It’s the perfect moisturizer, it feels good on your skin and the smell is amazing and not overpowering. I’ve been using it every night for over a year and will continue to do so

Excellent moisturizer
Size: 1.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: New and Improved Formula!
This is a great, light moisturizer for people with sensitive skin. You don’t have to use much and my skin quickly absorbs it. I highly recommend it!

New formula
Size: 1.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: New and Improved Formula!
I have sensitive skin and I loved the original formula for how simple it was and how well it hydrated without irritation. The new formula has a stronger scent and irritates my skin. Will not be buying again.
