History of Australia

The National Retail Federation (NRF) is the largest trade association in the world. It is involved in the support of the interests of retail companies through political influence and generic advertising of products.

The two events are entirely unrelated.

The ANZACs were the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps who fought in World War I. The Darwin bombings were in World War II. Whilst some of the ANZACs had survived to fight again in WWII, they were not called the ANZACs then.

Catherine "Kate" Kelly, sister of bushranger Ned Kelly, apparently drowned.

She was only 35.

Kate went missing on 6 October 1898. It was over a week before her body was found in a shallow lake at Condobolin Road near Forbes. It was presumed that she drowned but the Magisterial inquiry that was held into her death on 15 October did not indicate how or why the drowning occurred. Kate's death certificate stated that there was no evidence. There was some suggestion that, following the death of her sister Maggie two years earlier, Kate had become very depressed, and this may have contributed to the apparent drowning.

It is very important, not just for Australians who were born here but also those who immigrate here. Its important because by looking back we can discover who as a nation we are and what events have led to this day. We are all on the same great rock in the middle of the ocean with nowhere to go back to so it is vital we all work together and learn how this all came to be.

Few would regard the Rum Rebellion as a good thing. The Rum Rebellion was an event in Australia's early colonial history in which one of the colony's early governors was removed from his position by the settlers.

Governor William Bligh, Governor of New South Wales in 1805, was a strong character, concerned about discipline in the somewhat unruly colony, but he received a lot of criticism for his seemingly tyrannical ways. He was considered to have a disregard for English law but this was largely because he sought to bring in new laws more suited to the colony than previous rules which were better suited to England's conditions. Many at the time may have thought the rebellion was a good idea, because under Bligh, they were not free to do whatever they wished in the colony. Bligh had high standards which he upheld strictly.

Bligh's main critic was the influential grazier and wool grower John Macarthur, who convinced men from the New South Wales Corp to rebel against Bligh. On 26 January 1808, Governor Bligh was overthrown and replaced with a military Junta. The event caused Bligh to be imprisoned from 1808 to 1810. Historical evidence suggests it was more due to a clash of strong personalities than anything else. Bligh did have a violent temper and tended to alienate others, but his motives were honourable. Bligh was exonerated in 1811, after which he returned to England.

Henry Parkes's main argument for fe ration of the colonies in Australia was based on the benefits to trade. He advocated the Federation of the six Australian colonies, largely based on policies of assisting trade by removing border tariffs.

There have been many famous people named John Macarthur through the years. This answer refers to the Macarthur who, together with his wife Elizabeth, pioneered the wool industry in Australia in the early 1800s.

There does not seem to be any definite information on where John Macarthur went to school. All that seems to be known is that he was born near Plymouth, England in 1767, and was educated at a local school, most likely a private school attached to St Andrew's parish.

When Afghans migrated to Australia, they primarily engaged in activities such as camel breeding and herding, as well as working in the mining and agricultural industries. They also opened stores and shops, particularly in rural areas, and played a significant role in the development of trade routes and transportation infrastructure. Many Afghans faced discrimination and were subject to restrictive laws and policies, which limited their opportunities and integration into Australian society.

Most of Australia's farming land is located in the eastern and southeastern parts of the country, particularly in the states of New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland. These regions have fertile soils, reliable rainfall patterns, and favorable climate conditions for agriculture.

Yes. The flag of the indigenous Australian people features a yellow circle against an upper horizontal black half and a lower red half. The flag was originally designed by Harold Thomas, a Luritja man from Central Australia. It was first flown at Victoria Square in Adelaide on National Aborigines Day, 12 July 1971.

Eat babies.

Cats, dogs and foxes all cause problems by preying on native wildlife. Many species of wildlife, which have been protected by the absence of major predators for thousands of years, do not have sufficient defence mechanisms to protect themselves against cats, dogs and foxes. Rabbits have caused a major problem since their introduction in 1860, as they eat the native vegetation on which so many Australian species rely, and they breed much faster than any of the marsupials do. Feral pigs also eat the vegetation and will attack other creatures. Cane toads are an ever-increasing problem. Not only do cane toads prey on small mammals and reptiles, but animals which may happen to prey to them are then poisoned by the toad's glands.

The dingo has no natural native predators. Man has become a predator of the dingo, setting dingo traps to keep this animal away from stock. Wild, feral dogs are a threat to the native dingo also, but much inter-breeding goes on between wild dogs and true dingoes.

In 1803 Flinders was returning to England with the work of his discoveries in Australia, but his ship was leaking badly and he needed emergency repairs.

He put into the French-controlled island of Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean in late December 1803. He did not know that England and France were at war.

Within a few days the French governor Decaen concluded that Flinders was a "spy", and Flinders was imprisoned on the island.

He remained a prisoner of the French until June 1810, when British ships blockaded the island and forced his release.

Matthew Flinders was born in England.

The first known explorer to circumnavigate the Australian continent was Matthew Flinders. Flinders sailed around Australia in the ship The Investigator between 1801 and 1803, filling in many of the gaps left by previous explorers. Flinders was the one who first proposed the name "Australia" for the continent.

John Steinbeck's best friend was the marine biologist Ed Ricketts. They shared a deep intellectual and personal connection, and their friendship influenced Steinbeck's writing, particularly in the novel "Cannery Row."

Ned Kelly was an Australian bushranger, and arguably one of the best known as he was said to nobly help out the poor (this is a myth). He formed the Kelly gang with his brother Dan Kelly, Steve Hart and Joe Bryne.

Kelly was particularly famous for the siege at Glenrowan when he held an entire town hostage. Following the murder of police informer Aaron Sherritt on 27 June 1880 Ned Kelly's gang expected a large number of police to travel to Glenrowan by train. They tried to get the townsfolk to help lift the rail tracks to cause a derailment, hoping to kill a large number of the expected police. Not many townsfolk were willing to assist, and people were gradually rounded up and held in the Glenrowan Inn so that they could not warn the train.

After several hours, the Kelly gang allowed the more trusted hostages to go home at nightfall, as the train was running late. Local schoolteacher Thomas Curnow was one of those released, and when he heard the approaching train in the early hours of June 28, he ran quickly to warn of the danger ahead.

Wearing their famous armour, the Kelly brothers held a shootout with police. Several hostages were injured in the gun battle and two later died from gunshot wounds. The other Kelly Gang members were killed, and Ned was shot twenty-eight times in the legs, which were unprotected by the armour.

He survived to stand trial, and was sentenced to death by hanging, which occurred in Melbourne on 11 November 1880.

The first bushrangers were escapees of the convict system. They had no where else to go besides the bush. Technically they did need to steal because they couldn't go back to where they started, asking for food. They stole horses, food from farms, they robbed banks and they robbed from the rich. Some people became bushrangers perhaps out of boredom, and some where desperate to get away from everything.

Matthew Flinders named many places, among them the following: * On 17 July 1799, Matthew Flinders landed at and named Red Cliff Point, now Woody Point and a suburb of Redcliffe, north of Brisbane. * James Cook had named "Glass House Bay", which Flinders renamed Moreton Bay in 1799. As he sailed out of the bay, he also named Moreton Island, because he believed Cook would have done so, had he realised it was an island and not part of the mainland. * Also in 1799, an incident with aborigines on the south western side of Bribie Island caused Flinders to name the spot Skirmish Point. * Between Bribie Island and the mainland, a large amount of pumice stone in the area led him to name Pumice Stone River, which is now known as Pumicestone Passage * On 28 January 1802, Flinders anchored in Fowler's Bay on the southern coast, and described it as "a well sheltered cove affording wood and water". He named it after his first lieutenant, Robert Fowler. * On 24 February 1802, Flinders and his crew discovered Port Lincoln, on the southern end of what later became known as the Eyre Peninsula. Flinders wrote that he named it in honour of his native province. * On 8 August 1802, Flinders discovered an excellent harbour, sheltered and deep, on what is now the central Queensland coast. He named it Port Curtis after Admiral Sir Roger Curtis, commander-in-chief at the Cape of Good Hope. The port city of Gladstone now stands at that site. * Australia was previously known as New Holland, and Flinders first proposed the name "Terra Australis", which became "Australia", the name adopted in 1824.
