History of Australia (1788-1850) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The history of Australia from 1788-1850 covers the early colonies period of Australia's history, from the first English settlement and penal colony at Port Jackson in 1788 to the establishment of other colonies and the spread of settlers. The European population of Australia during this period was mostly male; female convicts and free settlers were in a distinct minority, and were greatly in demand because of this. The primary split in the population during this period was between convicts, free settlers, and Indigenous Australians. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/History_of_Australia_(1788-1850)   (884 words)

History of Australia Australia has always been separated by at least 60 kilometers of water since the glacial maximum of 140,000 years ago - yet bushfires could have easily alerted those living north of the continent of its existence. A formal flag raising ceremony was held by Arthur Phillip on the shore to proclaim the Colony of New South Wales, in the name of the King of England on the 26th of January, 1788. Australia received many American and Chinese immigrants at the same time. www.crystalinks.com /australiahistory.html   (1729 words)

History - Australian history Australia’s soils, low rainfall, and recurrent droughts were better suited, however, for large-scale grazing than for arable farming, and the most successful and dramatic transformation of the Australian continent occurred in the 1830s and 1840s, as squatters established huge sheep runs. Australia was usually portrayed as a remote and unattractive land for European settlement, but for Great Britain it had strategic and, after the loss of the American colonies (1783), socio-economic value. Australia was challenged to address the land claims of the indigenous inhabitants, which had been disregarded for centuries. www.australianaustralia.com /page/History/238   (8154 words)

First Fleet 1788 Story Between 1788 and 1850 the English sent over 162,000 convicts to Australia in 806 ships. It was these convicts, guilty of petty crimes that were the result of trying to survive the conditions of England at the time (eg stealing a loaf of bread), that were the pioneers who - through hard work and perserverance, made the colony survive and expand to the stage of self sufficiency. By July 1788, all the ships except the Naval vessels "Syrius" and "Supply" had left and the settlement was isolated. www.ulladulla.info /historian/ffstory.html   (1569 words)

Continuum 1.2: McQueen If the notion of writing a multi-volume history of Australia was seen as eccentric, Clark's approach to his material was seen as bizarre. In the twenty-five years between the publication of the first and sixth volumes of A History of Australia (1962-87), Manning Clark's achievement has altered the criteria by which his opus is judged. The impoverishment of intellectual life in Australia is epitomised by the virtual monopoly which universities have had on research funds, and which the tertiary sector will inherit under the Dawkins rearrangements.ÊÊSupport from the Australia Council is limited. wwwmcc.murdoch.edu.au /ReadingRoom/1.2/McQueen.html   (2735 words)
