I noticed he's got a new book out this year for Christmas, this time on another obcsure piece of Australian history - Breaker Morant. Where would Australian history be without the fearless work of Fitzsimons (and his army of paid researchers)? Uncovering never-before-known stories of something called the Anzacs (soldiers apparently), Eureka Stockade (something to do with gold?) and James Cook (some kind of sailor), our intrepid scholar delves into subjects other writers fear to investigate. The kind of bravery only a Wallaby or Greater Western Sydney player could emulate.
All original stuff by Fitzy .I believe he''ll write a book on Banks are not all about Money, and then proceed to tell us all about Banks coming with Cook on the Endeavour and banksia plant being named after him. I'm awaiting his tell all book on who came second in WW11.I have. a fair idea who came first.
He should right a book about Lisa Wilkinson 's sex life.. and call it " Bang'in a Bandana.. the tell all"
I'm predicting future books on historical curios like Phar Lap, Robert Menzies and the First Fleet. These are controverisal subjects that more mainstream historians are averse to touch upon. Not our fearless Peter.
I once travelled to Dubrovnik in Croatia on my honeymoon and the unit I rented had a Hankyhead book in it. I thought it was mighty nice of my hosts to provide some spare toilet paper.
Just saw it. The opening piece might as well have just said "I haven't got around to preparing a full column this week so instead, let me just say that I hate rugby league and always will because I'm a bitter merkin" Like seriously, it's bordering on bizarre why that was even included.
Was used during the panic buying of toilet paper. Seems Fitzy ran out of TP and his books to wipe his arse.
