History of Australia

ned kellys life was liek a angle in hell

Yes, Sydney is the most populous city in Australia. It is not, however, the capital city of Australia, but is only the capital city of New South Wales, also the most heavily populated state in Australia. As of the Census in 1996, the Population Growth Rate at the time was 1.2% per year.

Of the approximately 18.18million people living in Australia, 35% of the population lived in Sydney (3.879million), second is Melbourne with 29% (3.3million) and thirdly is Brisbane with 13% (1.5million people).

One thing some tribes believed in was dream time. They had a specific time of day used for dreaming. Usually. It would be in the late afternoon. Dream time is related to connecting with animals to communicate with other animals. They also believed in spirituality, religion and stories from the ancestors. Their spirits can be used to talk to other people!

The first people to come to Australia were believed to have crossed by the land bridges which existed from Asia to Australia in ancient times. DNA tests indicate that the indigenous people of Australia probably came from the Indian sub-continent.

they don't.

Unlike the situation between the Maury and the pakiha ( white person) in NZ I would say that aside from having seen the occasional bit of aboriginal art and a few well meaning articles in newspapers and on television 99% the Average Australians are blissfully unaware of any thing that has to do with aboriginal culture aside from a seemingly endless array of racist joke's.

I agree. Having lived in Australia I can say that Aboriginal culture influences Australian culture very little. Kids in Australia are thought about Aboriginal culture throughout their schooling, which means they are somewhat well educated on the topic of Aboriginal culture. However, aside from this education, influences of Aboriginal culture can not really be seen in everyday Australian life.

Kath Walker, also known as Oodgeroo Noonuccal, was an indigenous Australian writer, poet and activist who died in 1993. She was born on Stradbroke island, in Queensland's Moreton Bay, and she often wrote of the changes her generation saw in how the Aborigines were treated, and how the Land was treated, by whites.
Some of her works include Municipal Gum, Understand Old Oneand Stradbroke Dreamtime.

The new Parliament House was built because Australia's original Parliament House was only ever intended to be a temporary residence for parliament. However, for a variety of reasons, it served as the Federal Parliament building for over 60 years, while it was originally intended to serve for a maximum of 50 years. There was always the intention to build a new Parliament House. Old Parliament House had exceeded its capacity by the 1970s.

Construction of the New Parliament House in Canberra began in 1981, and the House was finally opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 9 May 1988, the anniversary of the opening of both the first Federal Parliament in Melbourne (9 May 1901), and of the Provisional Parliament House in Canberra (9 May 1927).

Australian soldiers first arrived in Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. They remained there for about eight months.

I think you mean

"How were the Aboriginals mistreated by the European Settlers?"

If that's what you meant, well the Aboriginal people were believed to be racially inferior to the European people. The Europeans mistreated them by abusing them in many disgusting ways and made them live in missons. Now Missions were town-like areas where Aboriginal people were forced to stay, in an attempt to teach them to behave like the Europeans, however they were mainly children and young adults, thus referring to the Stolen Generation. These people were whipped, beaten and sometimes isolated. They received food rations and were being forced to convert to Christianity and exhibit the dogma of the Europeans.

Construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge cost £4.2 million.

With regard to the cost to human life, sixteen lives were lost during its construction, while up to 800 families living in the path of the proposed Bridge path were relocated and their homes demolished when construction started.

Ned Kelly, was famous for standing up against injustice against his people, after shooting 3 police, he was senctenced to death. "such is life" was the famouse Ned kelly's Last words as he was hung at the age of 25-26 died 1880, born 1854-1855

The official cause of World War 1 is usually listed as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. He and his wife Sophie were fatally shot by Gavrilo Princip (a previous assassination attempt involved the throwing of a bomb, which is not technically a gun shot), and these shots may be considered those which started the War.

Ned Kelly was a bushranger, an outlaw, and often such criminals were supported by friends and family. Ned Kelly had several run-ins with the law, and his family often felt that they were persecuted by the police. This was a common problem among Irish immigrants and ex-convicts. The Kelly gang was formed in response to the bad treatment the Kellys felt they received, and they felt they had nothing to lose by turning to crime.

All of the above (growing crops, trading ports, bases of operatioin)

The first government of the Commonwealth of Australia was formed at Federation, on 1 January 1901.

This date was when the six states came together as one federated nation, under an Australian Prime Minister, enabling the colony to be self-governing.

Explorer Gregory Blaxland was honoured by these places being named after him: * the town of Blaxland in the Blue Mountains * Mount Blaxland and later: * the Australian Electoral Division of Blaxland * Blaxland, a small Queensland railway siding on the Darling Downs, between Oakey and Dalby

Many of the wealthy in Australia continued life like they always had, enjoying private parties and dances, horse races, ocean voyages and fashion parades. Their ignorant beliefs were that extreme poverty was caused by laziness and lack of good character, rather than an economic depression. In Sydney, the wealthy believed that camps for the unemployed on Sydney's foreshore were hideous, and that to allow them to stay there for months was insanitary and unsafe to the general public. They asked what right they had to reside in Sydney.

The grave of Captain Arthur Phillip, first Governor of Australia, is in the church of St Nicholas, Barthampton, England. Originally, his tombstone was situated in the porch entranceway of the church: this was considered a fitting honour as everyone would remember him as they entered and departed the church.

Of the 1500 ANZACs who waded ashore that first day, 755 remained in active service at the end of the day. This figure does not include men of other nationalities apart from the Australian and New Zealand troops.

Captain Cook never sailed anywhere near Australia's western coast, so he had no opportunity to think anything of the Swan River. Dutch captain Willem de Vlamingh named the Swan River in 1697 because of the black swans he saw in abundance there. In 1826, Edmund Lockyer was sent to claim the western half of the Australian continent for Britain. Cook never ventured beyond the eastern coast.

Yes. Australian bushranger Ben Hall was ambushed and shot by eight police at dawn on 5 May 1865. One oral legend states that his once-faithful aboriginal companion (now turned black tracker) shot and killed him after he was injured as he did not want to be taken to gaol.
