I have just finished reading "How to give your kids $1million each! (and it won't cost you a cent)" by Ashley Ormond.
While it predominantly explains a savings and investment strategy you can start on behalf of your kids, it also explains in depth, step by step all about investing in the Australian sharemarket. It is a fairly recent book and lists quite a few of our Australian companies and their past performances.
It explains everything you want to know when just starting out, from how to get an account going, tax implications, etc. I found it a very enjoyable read in very basic format which clarified a few of the niggling little questions I had in a concise manner.
The book also delves into investing in residential property and commercial investment. I recommend it as a good read for anyone.
