 Australian Parliamentary Library - 1995-96 Research Paper 31
The republican debate in Australia has been most intense in the 1990s and, as the 2000 Olympics and the centenary of federation approach, there is every reason and many a pretext for examining Australia's constitutional history and national symbols.
The most common image of republicanism in Australia is one inspired by a predominantly nationalist, socialist and Labor led historical legacy and this is sometimes misconceived as the only model of republicanism that has had much bearing on Australia's past.
The particular understanding of the English constitution which was brought to Australia's shores by British immigrants was one 'steeped in the rhetoric of constitutionalism and the rule of law'.(19) All classes placed great faith in parliamentary and legal processes as the appropriate mechanisms of reform.

At its peak in 1903, Australia had become the world's largest producer of gold - half of which came from Western Australia.
From that point on, the gold discoveries petered out, and the industry declined to a point where discoveries were minor and occasional.

 The Beginnings of May Day in Australia
From 1887 to 1889 the 1st May was remembered and celebrated in Australia only by anarchists associated with the Melbourne Anarchist Club.
But this first celebration had such a strong effect on the proletarian masses of Australia, enlivening them and leading to new agitation, that it was decided to repeat the celebration every year.
Thus, the idea of a proletarian celebration was quickly accepted and, from Australia, began to spread to other countries until finally it had conquered the whole proletarian world.

 History of Bird Banding in Australia - Australian Bird and Bat Banding Scheme
On 18th September 1887, an albatross of undetermined species was found near Triggs Island, Western Australia, with a tin collar around its neck which carried the following message: '13 naufrages sont refugies sur les iles Crozet 4 Aout 1887' (thirteen shipwrecked sailors have taken refuge on the Crozet Islands, August 4 1887).
Although this episode is far removed from the bird-banding methods in use today, it is the earliest and most remarkable case of a banded bird arriving in Australia from overseas; the bird had covered a distance of 3027 miles (4904km) in no more than 46 days.
After that the growth of bird banding was relatively slow until 1947, when a joint scheme by the CSIRO and the Tasmanian Fauna Board was initiated for banding Short-tailed Shearwaters.
