Discover Australia! The World Without Us by Mireille Juchau (2015)

Discover Australia! explores themes of colonialism and dispossession in post-colonial Australia.

The novel follows the story of four generations of a family living on a property in the Australian bush.

The family is comprised of the main protagonist, Eliza, her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

Through Eliza’s journey, Juchau examines the impact of colonial history on present-day Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

The novel explores the contrasting perspectives of Eliza's family members as they grapple with their past and the future.

Juchau's narrative also touches upon themes of environmentalism, as the family tries to protect their property from the imminent threat of development.

Through its multi-layered exploration of the complex history of Australia, Discover Australia! offers readers an insight into how the past continues to shape the present.
