From the stalwart brands of Vegemite and Holden cars to the natural and man-made landmarks of Uluru and the Sydney Harbor Bridge and Australia's unique indigenous flora and fauna, these commercial and community-based symbols are distinctive and highly recognizable--whether they are official, popular, spontaneous, or imposed. Representing Australia to the world, these symbols can evoke Australian national pride, officially acknowledge the familiar, provide visitors with mementos to take home, or sell products. Each chapter illuminates a particular symbol and shares lively anecdotes, showing that every symbol possesses a significance that goes beyond the surface.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melissa Harper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1921410507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781921410505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Museum of Australia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Melissa Harper","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742664208639,"sku":"9781921410505","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/symbols-of-australia-melissa-harper-9781921410505","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
