    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.

  • Admiral Arthur Phillip.Pdf
    Admiral Arthur Phillip, R.N. (1738 – 1814) A brief story by Angus Ross for the Bread Street Ward Club, 2019 One of the famous people born in Bread Street was Admiral Arthur Phillip, R.N, the Founder of Australia and first Governor of New South Wales (1788-1792). His is a fascinating story that only recently has become a major subject of research, especially around his naval exploits, but also his impact in the New Forest where he lived mid-career and also around Bath, where he finally settled and died. I have studied records from the time Phillip sailed to Australia, a work published at the end of the 19c and finally from more recent research. Some events are reported differently by different observes or researchers so I have taken the most likely record for this story. Arthur Phillip in later life His Statue in Watling Street, City of London I have tried to balance the amount of detail without ending up with too long a story. It is important to understand the pre-First Fleet Phillip to best understand how he was chosen and was so well qualified and experienced to undertake the journey and to establish the colony. So, from a range of accounts written in various times, this story aims to identify the important elements of Phillip’s development ending in his success in taking out that First Fleet, made up primarily of convicts and marines, to start the first settlement. I have concluded this story with something about the period after he returned from Australia and what recognition of his life and achievements are available to see today.

  • OBJECT BIOGRAPHY First Fleet Memento
    Not Just Ned: A true history of the Irish in Australia An exhibition developed and presented by the National Museum of Australia OBJECT BIOGRAPHY First Fleet Memento The first Irish to arrive in Australia came on the First Fleet but material relating to the Fleet is extremely rare and this small 74 millimetre medal depicting the convict transport Charlotte is an important starting point in the exhibition Not Just Ned: A true history of the Irish in Australia. The First Fleet, as it became known, departed England in May 1787 and consisted of two small naval ships HMS Supply and HMS Sirius, six convict transports Alexander, Charlotte, Scarborough, Prince of Wales, Friendship and Lady Penrhyn and three store ships, Golden Grove, Borrowdale and Fishburn. After departing from Cape Town, Captain Phillip transferred to HMS Supply and split the convoy into three. Supply would proceed alone; the three fastest transports, Alexander, Scarborough and Friendship would follow at full speed; and Sirius would escort the remainder of the Fleet. The Supply arrived at Botany Bay on 18 January 1788, the Alexander, Scarborough and Friendship followed within twenty-four hours, and the remainder of the Fleet arrived the following day. The silver Charlotte Medal was struck onboard the Charlotte on 20 January 1788 while moored in Botany Bay. The Charlotte was one of the First Fleet vessels that had sailed from London to establish a penal colony on the east coast of New Holland. The medal records the nautical details of the voyage and dates the arrival of the Charlotte in Botany Bay as 20 January 1788.
