	Australia, 1800–1900 A.D. \| Timeline of Art History \| The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The century also sees the founding of most of Australia's major museums and universities and the formation of the first substantial collections of Aboriginal art and artifacts, both within the country and abroad.
		While many of these art forms are later considered culturally inappropriate by Aboriginals for public display, their core iconography, a series of symbols that represent people, places, and the movements of ancestral beings, eventually forms the basis of twentieth-century Western Desert acrylic painting.
		The Queensland act becomes the blueprint for similarly restrictive legislation in Western Australia (1905), the Northern Territory (1910), and South Australia (1911).

	Australia (08/06)
		Australia's advanced market economy is dominated by its services sector (71% of GDP), yet it is the agricultural and mining sectors (8% of GDP combined) that account for the bulk (52%) of Australia's goods and services exports.
		Australia's comparative advantage in primary products is a reflection of the natural wealth of the Australian continent and its small domestic market; 20 million people occupy a continent the size of the contiguous United States.
		Australia also is active in meetings of the Commonwealth Regional Heads of Government and the Pacific Islands Forum, and has been a leader in the Cairns Group--countries pressing for agricultural trade reform in World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations--and in the APEC forum.

	Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 - Gurupedia
		The Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 is the primary constitutional text of the Commonwealth of Australia.
		The judicial power of the Commonweath was vested by Section 71 of Chapter III in a federal supreme court to be called the High Court of Australia.
		This power was only removed by the enactment in 1986 by both Australia and the United Kingdom of the Australia Act, which 'repatriated' the Australian constitution and gave Australia absolute ownership of its lawmaking, to the complete and final exclusion of Britain.

	History of Australia (1851-1900) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1855 New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania (as Van Diemen's Land was renamed) were granted full responsible government, with bicameral parliaments in which the lower houses were fully elected.
		Of the 90% of the Aboriginal population that died out as a result of European contact, it is estimated that around 80 or 90% of the deaths were the result of disease, and reasonable to suppose that the worst-hit peoples were the ones that lived in the most fertile areas, where population densities were highest.
		Melbourne in particular grew rapidly, becoming Australia's largest city and for a while the second-largest city in the British Empire: its grand Victorian buildings are a lasting reminder of the period.

		The simplistic and propagandistic characterization of fascists in general (Donald Sutherland plays the caricaturally satanic embodiment of fascism and opportunism) didn't do justice to the subtlety of the rest of the story, but after all the story revolves around the friendship between aristocrat Alfredo and farmer Olmo.
		One of the most obvious ways in '1900' is the quite in-your-face waving of the red flags near the end.
		Although 1900 is less poetic poetic than 'il Conformista', the great cinematographer found many instances to display his cinematic brilliance in the most appropriate way and let the eclectic cast come to justice.

		It is not surprising that maritime painting in Australia began with the First Fleet and for many years reflected some of the European traditions of the genre.
		As the colonies became established, however, the sea also came to represent prosperity, and maritime art in Australia really began with the development of whaling and the growth of trade.
		But throughout the nineteenth century the maritime scene in Australia also attracted talented professional artists who are better known today for their landscapes.

		It was not celebrated in Melbourne and the rest of Australia from 1900 to 1927.
