‘What a life! What a story! Superbly researched and wonderfully crafted …’ - Peter FitzSimons
'Writer, journalist, barrister, larrikin'
Who was the first Australian novelist?
John Lang, born in a Parramatta pub in 1816 with the convict ‘stain’ upon him, was a singular character. The first native-born person to have a novel published, he was also a newspaperman, a classical scholar and translator, barrister, celebrity, jailbird … enigma. He was hugely energetic, capable and original, but he also had his demons.
A larrikin polymath who refused to be bound by convention, Lang didn’t just want his allotted portion – he wanted all of it. He got a lot of it, too, but not the chalice of immortality.
Lang was a serial pioneer. In literature, he also wrote the first ‘detective novel’ in English, the first convict-system satire, the first Indian travelogue by an Australian, and he created the template for the bush novel. In journalism, he was the first Australian to launch and run a newspaper overseas. And in law, he was the only barrister to ever defeat the mighty East India Company in an Indian courtroom.
So why have we never heard of him?
This long-overdue biography explores answers to this revealing question as it tracks Lang’s rise from those humble beginnings to fortune and fleeting fame. Author Sean Doyle tells the riveting story of Lang’s remarkable life and times across three continents in the age of Empire, when the modern world was young …

Perfect Champagne Shimmer for Festivals & Events
Color: Champagne Gold - 01
Color- Champagne Gold shade.
So cute! Get it! I always end up getting compliments when I wear this to festivals/concerts/event. It works great not just on your face but all over your body like arms, chest, shoulders, anywhere you want a little extra glow. It adds a really cute shimmer without being too extreme or over-the-top. I especially like wearing it to festivals or events where there are lots of lights or sunshine, because that’s when it really catches the light and looks the best.
Once it dries, it has more of a matte finish with a soft shimmer rather than looking overly dewy or greasy. The champagne color blends really nicely with my neutral/tan skin tone, so it looks natural while still adding that fun sparkle. It’s a great little addition to any festival or event outfit.
A little bit goes a long way. I’ve probably used this around 20 times already and still have at least half the bottle left. Another huge plus is that it washes off easily and doesn’t flake everywhere or leave glitter all over the floors and counters like some other body glitters I’ve tried. Overall, a great product if you want a subtle but noticeable shimmer! ✨
