My problem with U.S history was becoming increasingly disillusioned when our unsavory past began to catch up with me and I realized most of what I learned in elementary school was a sugar-coated lie.
But you just need to dig further in and unearth the interesting gems that school doesn't see fit to teach you. Pick something that you're particularly interested in and read, read, read. You'd be surprised what you can find.
For example, I used to study the history of Oregon, my home state. People think that Oregon is some land of hippies, greenery and peace.....oh sir, no its not. There is a LOT of unsavory things that have happened here in the past which I never learned about in school. Just read on what you are curious about and you'll discover some pretty interesting things have taken place throughout the ages....whatever your historical interests may be.
Oh yes, regarding Aussie history, the internet is your friend. Wikipedia Australia and follow up on some of the links the hit provides at the bottom of the page.
