  • A Colony of Convicts
    A Colony of Convicts The following information has been taken from https://www.foundingdocs.gov.au/ Documenting a Democracy ‘Governor Phillip’s Instructions 25 April 1787’ The British explorer Captain James Cook landed in Australia in 1770 and claimed it as a British territory. Six years after James Cook landed at Botany Bay and gave the territory its English name of 'New South Wales', the American colonies declared their independence and war with Britain began. Access to America for the transportation of convicts ceased and overcrowding in British gaols soon raised official concerns. In 1779, Joseph Banks, the botanist who had travelled with Cook to New South Wales, suggested Australia as an alternative place for transportation. The advantages of trade with Asia and the Pacific were also raised, alongside the opportunity New South Wales offered as a new home for the American Loyalists who had supported Britain in the War of Independence. Eventually the Government settled on Botany Bay as the site for a colony. Secretary of State, Lord Sydney, chose Captain Arthur Phillip of the Royal Navy to lead the fleet and be the first governor. The process of colonisation began in 1788. A fleet of 11 ships, containing 736 convicts, some British troops and a governor set up the first colony of New South Wales in Sydney Cove. Prior to his departure for New South Wales, Phillip received his Instructions from King George III, with the advice of his ‘Privy Council'. The first Instructions included Phillip's Commission as Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief of New South Wales.

  • Flags of Australian Territories
    -’-iqc 227 Jonathan Dixon: Flags of Australian Territories Abstract; Several different patterns have been proposed and/or used in flags for Australia's internal and external territories. This will be a historical overview of these flags, from Papua to the Cocos Islands. Since Federation in 1901, the flags of the territories of the Commonwealth of Australia have been quite varied. Unlike the state flags, which have followed the same basic pattern since they were established before Federation, the territories have adopted (or radically changed) their flags at many different times. The flags chosen reflect not only on the nature of the territories, but on the attitudes towards Australian flags of those making the decisions. Australia's territories can be classified as populated external territories, self-governing internal territories, and others which have ver\' limited populations and/or self-government. This last group, including the Jervis Bay Territor\" and offshore regions such as the Coral Sea Islands, do not have flags of their own, and it is often wrongly claimed that their flag is the Australian national flag. Of course, as territories of the Commonwealth, the national flag is used, but that is not at all the same thing. The differences between the flags of the other territories display the differences between the statuses of the territories, but a broader and more interesting picture is revealed when we also include the historical Australian territories in New Guinea. These flags from the start of the nineteenth centurt^ will be our focus as we discover that territorial flags have always not only been influenced by state and Commonwealth flags, but have also influenced moves to change them.

  • Australia Day
    Australia Day Australia Day is the national day of Australia and takes place on the 26th of January every year across the country of Australia. This date is the anniversary of Captain Arthur Phillip raising the British flag in Sydney Cove to mark the new colony of Britain. This happened many years ago in 1788! For many people in Australia, especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, this day is referred to as ‘Invasion Day’ as they remember the anniversary of the invasion of their lands. Australians celebrate Australia Day in different ways. Some people enjoy going to a special concert or watching a fireworks show. Other Australians spend the day at the beach or having a picnic with friends or family. It is also the time of the year when important national awards are given to people who show great Australian values. There are four of these awards given every year. They are for Australian of the Year, Young Australian of the Year, Senior Australian of the Year and Australia’s Local Heroes. Page 1 of 2 Australia Day Questions 1. What date is Australia Day? 2.

ON BEING AUSTRALIAN Teaching and learning activities ABOUT TRUE BLUE? AMBIVALENCES, ANXIETIES, COMPLEXITIES AND CONTRADICTIONS For well over a century Australians have been concerned to define a national identity. In her recently released study, Being Australian, Catriona Elder says: ‘Being Australian is not simply about the pleasure of the past and the excitement of the future... It is not just about that funny feeling a citizen might get when the Australian flag is raised at the Olympics. Being Australian also encompasses feelings, ideas and emotions that vary from joy to shame, guilt to confusion, hatred to love. Yet, in most national narratives these feelings of anxiety are erased or repressed in favour of the pleasurable aspects of national identity. Finding pleasure in being Australian is valuable; however exploring and explaining the anxiety and fear that lie at the heart of the idea of being Australian is also important.’ In the collection TRUE BLUE? we have attempted to problematise the notion of Australian identity for senior students.

  • European Settlement of Australia
    Social Studies/History/Australia Australian History: European Settlement of Australia The fifteenth century saw the beginning of an age of exploration by European seagoing nations such as the Netherlands, England, Spain and Portugal. The Dutch, especially, were aggressively searching for riches in the southern hemisphere. So it is not surprising that the first confirmed landing in Australia by Europeans was by Dutch navigator Willem Jansz in 1606. Jansz and other Dutch explorers after him landed on the west coast of Australia. They decided that Australia, then known as New Holland, was of no economic value to their homeland because they thought it was too arid. In 1688 English explorer William Dampier sailed to the west coast of Australia. Much later, in 1770, Captain James Cook arrived on the more fertile east coast of Australia and claimed it for Britain. In the mid 18th century, British prisons were overcrowded. British rulers decided they needed a new penal colony. In 1788, eighteen years after Captain Cook had claimed the east coast of Australia for Britain, a fleet arrived consisting of eleven ships carrying about 1500 passengers, half of them convicts. They established the first penal colony, in Botany Bay, which is now part of Sydney. The fleet arrived on January 26, 1788. Today, Australia celebrates Australia Day every January 26. A second penal colony, Port Arthur, was developed by the British to the south, in Tasmania. About 161,700 convicts were transported to Australia between 1788 and the end of penal ©2011abcteach.com Social Studies/History/Australia Name______________________________________________________Date___________ transportation eighty years later.
