From what I did at school, Australian history is rather boring. Did ancient history at school, and now read some books on ancient and medieval warfare, ancient history, Chinese and Japanese history.

The documentaries shown on FTA TV are sometimes interesting, but the movies or TV "based on historical events" are usually wildly inaccurate. I usually find myself thinking that the arms and battle tactics have only a vague if any relation to fact.

I generally like history, but I dunno about doing a whole degree on it, not sure I'd be able to finish it.

I know more history than most people, but unfortunately that doesn't really say all that much most of the time. People's ignorance of just about anything to do with major world events (or countries) is worrying. No wonder we continue to fail to learn from history!
