A perfectly accurate and honest account of the strange goings on in the continent formerly known as 'New Holland' between the years of 1770 and 1919... Many people are ignorant of Australian history, or dismiss it as mere myth on account of the astonishingly high number of unicorn Prime Ministers recorded in its annals. This video aims to give the viewer a clear and truthful view of what occured, as it happened...

Taking a largely chronological approach, A Brief History of Australia looks at social, cultural, economic, and political trends in the country's long history, shedding light on its unique and complex identity. Beginning with the peopling of the continent about 60000 years ago, the volume examines the early history and culture of the Aboriginals. It continues with the first documented sighting of the landmass by a European in the 17th century, followed by a discussion of the colonial period in the 18th and 19th centuries. Then to the Present Day Famous natural landmarks and the Aussie at large. Worth Watching in my book.

The song is something I wanted to get out for a while now. It is a history of the experiences of my people since colonisation. I feel there is alot of racial tension in Australia which is in part due to lack of knowledge of the history of Aboriginal people in this country. I am hoping that this video can shed some light on what we have been through (and are still going through), to help bridge the gap. Think of it as a Rap-umentary. The newspaper images can be found here: www.kooriweb.org Lyrics: (Chorus x 2) Watch as I unfold for those that don't know, This is a true story, history untold, For every individual, the old and the young, This is Australian History 101, (Verse 1) Welcome to Australia's darkside, People don't know Australian law inspired apartheid, Separation legalised in the so called "Protection Era" Black communities living in terror, From government departments who stole our children, While our men were at work, exploited by real life villians, No cash, surviving on government rations, On the frontier frontline cultures clashing, Aint nobody want to pay the Black man for his labor, Stolen lands, by the beast we got ate up, Rounded up like cattle on missions and reserves, Where we was broken down and forced to serve, Our women disrespected, and life so hectic, They place our children in White homes to get molested, Our brothers in jail cells with long sentences, With no translators, wondering where justice is. (chorus x 2) (verse 2) We needed certificates ...

National histories establish a deep and defining relationship between a people and place. In creating their own national history the settler societies confront the predicament of their novelty. National histories establish a deep and defining relationship between a people and place. In creating their own national history the settler societies confront the predicament of their novelty. In the absence of longevity, they can borrow the past of their parent society, they can adopt the past of their indigenous peoples, or they can define themselves as starting anew. Nineteenth-century Australia is usually seen as adopting the first strategy, in contrast to Mexico, which followed the second, and the United States, which proclaimed its novelty. On closer inspection, I think that all three of these devices can be seen in Australia — though with changing emphases that I would like to explore in the session.

ONE OF A SERIES ON KALGOORLIE SEE video.google.com.au History KAL WESTERN AUSTRALIA In June 1893, prospectors Patrick (Paddy) Hannan, Tom Flanagan, and Dan O'Shea were travelling to Mt Youle when one of their horses cast a shoe. During the resultant halt in their journey, the men noticed signs of gold in the area, and decided to stay put. On June 17, 1893, Hannan filed a Reward Claim, leading to hundreds of men swarming to the area in search of gold and Kalgoorlie was born. The mining of gold, along with other metals such as nickel, has been a major industry in Kalgoorlie ever since. The concentrated area of large gold mines surrounding the original Hannan find is often referred to as the Golden Mile, and is considered by some to be the richest square mile of earth on the planet. The town's population was about 30000 people in 1903. The narrow gauge Government railway line reached Kalgoorlie in the 1896, and the main named railway service from Perth was the overnight sleeper train The Westland which ran until the 1970s. In 1917, a standard gauge railway line was completed, connecting Kalgoorlie to the city of Port Augusta, South Australia, across 2000 km of desert, and consequently the rest of the eastern states. The standardisation of the railway connecting Perth (which changed route from the narrow gauge route) in 1968 made it possible for rail travel from Perth to Sydney - and the Indian Pacific rail service commenced soon after. Places, famous or infamous, that ...
