  • Suitcases and Stories Pre-Federation Migration
    SUITCASES AND STORIES PRE-FEDERATION MIGRATION These activity ideas are linked to groups of people who came to Australia before 1901, from convicts who had no choice, to the gold rush fortune seekers and free settlers who came to for a better life. To Research: Not all the convicts who came to Australia were from England. They originated from more than twenty-five countries. Make a list of where they came from. What is emancipation and how did it work? Consider and discuss the class distinction between the officers and free settlers, emancipated persons and convicts, and indigenous people. Research the life, work and achievements of Caroline Chisholm. Find out about quarantine stations. Where were they located? Why were the migrants put into quarantine? What diseases were the authorities worried about? What were the conditions like? How long was the average stay? To Create: A love token was a coin-sized piece of metal featuring an inscription. When someone was leaving for a long time they gave it to a loved one as a keepsake. Put yourself in the place of a convict being transported to Australia and create your own love token. Who would you be creating the token for? Love Token: Convict love token 1770s-1820s, 1770s-1820s (00040473) ANMM Collection.
