I play basketball once a week on saturdays. I have been playing since the age of 6 and i have played all up about 17 seasons with 2 different clubs. in primary school i played for the mighty ducks which was the schools team. But my most common team is the Boronia buffaloes. In this team I won the premiership last year and have been in many finals with this team. I also play football for the basin bear. in this team i have one a premiership and got into a final! I have played since under 13's and have so far won two trophies. One was for the premier ship in under 13's and the second was getting a "most courageous" award in under 14's. My non sporting hobbies are: Motor bike riding. my family owns a farm on leongatha where we go for holidays. Most of the time I will be riding motor bikes. late last year my brother bought himself an xr 250 to ride down at the farm. I usually ride this bike or my dads xt 350 which he also bought recently. Knee boarding. In 2004 I went on a 10 month holiday around australia. my dad's a mad fisherman so he bought a little dighny to go fishing in. While we were away my dad bought my siblings and I an knee board. since that i have used it many places. I try to do some tricks but the best thing that i can do is a 360 degree turn.Wood work. at school i am currently attending year 9 wood work this is one of my hobbies because it is very "hands on". last year in tech wood i made a wooden box and a folding chair. I also got to make a cricket bat and a mini pac-man. When I grow up I would like to become a landsscape architecture this means that i would be able to design and build peoples gardens.  First Australians

Q1 I think that the film has helped gain much knowledge and understand the conflicts caused by each side. I also understand that within the first couple of days of meeting each other. One of the ways it has helped is that I now know the real events and can have sympathy/empathy for each side. I also know the story of Boonelong and Phillip Arthur. This makes it easier for me to se that there are friendships as well.

Q2 THEY HAVE COME TO STAY. 1788 on January 25th the first fleet arrives at Australia. Over the next few years the indigenous people of the land will be caught in a feud between their kind and the “invaders”. There are also friendships though. The governor of New South Wales Arthur Phillips first captured 2 aboriginals to try and communicate with their kind. This feud last hundreds of years until the year 1993.

Q3. I think that the main message of this story is that even if something has good first impressions it can be harsh and cold. And that even if there is peace it will not last forever. One other message that can be taken from this video is that no matter how many feuds there are between two races friendships can still arise.

Q4. The main point of this story is to explain to modern people how weird it must have been for dark skinned natives to see for the first time white men in red suits arriving. The rest of the story is about the change in these 200 hundred years.  Definitions for Q.1 Colonists-a settler or inhabitant of a colony Settlers- people who travel to different lands and build lives there Invaders- a group or army of people that come to a new land with intentions of taking it for them selves British- people from Britain which is an island in western Europe. Whites- people with white skin from any country Europeans-people that originate from Europe.

Q.4 I think that the most appropriate term for the “newcomers” would have to be invaders. I think this because governor Arthurs orders were to take over the country. also the movements from the British peoples action were very aggressive.

Q.5 Yes this is definitely possible. Another example of this could be that upon arrivals the British would have been seen as invaders by the indigenous people of this land but as settlers to themselves. Q.6 DEFINITIONS Aborigines- a person place or thing that is the original inhabitant of the land that it is on. Indigenous inhabitants or people- originating or occurring naturally in a particular place. First Australians- the people who first lived on the continent Australia. using a tribal or clam name (such as Eora Tribe)-a traditional tribe or clan that has lived in an area for many years.

Q.9 I think that the most accurate description of the indigenous people of australia is Aboriginals. this is because they were the original inhabitants of the land and it was taken unrightfully from them.

 Q1. on page 7 what Keating is saying is that the non- aboriginal australians took away the culture, the spiritual life, the memories and every thing alse including life away from the Aboriginals and then ended up blaming on the people that had suffered.

Q.2 i think that these claims are mostly correct and feel guilty when hearing the story of our ancestors. I would also add that even in modern times there is still conflict between the two races. also another good thing about this topic is that

Q.4 i agree with both of the veiws. they are both correct in the points that they make but i think that the document written by Paul Keating.. i mainly agree with this because we should feel guilt for the wrong we did. sure it was a time of british expanding but that is no excuse for all the bad decisions that the british people made which affected the indigenous people of australia.

Q1. it is generally believed that indigenous australians have lived in australia for around 40,000 years.

Q2. the largest of these s a Language Group. IN each language group there is usually a number of clans. each clan would usually have at least 2 extended families. in each of these families there were alot of marriages so there would have to be many bands.

Q.3 Each clan had a totem. it might have been an animal or a bird ar some ind of plant. but this totem always symbolized the clans connection to the spiritual world. As well as a clan totem each individual had a totem for themselves this was decided by the clan elders.

Page 9 Q.5 Source D A) It states in the caption of this picture that is is an primary source B) In this painting most of the aboriginals are very naked. although most of the parents/adults are dressed with rags and raggy clothing. C) This shows interactions because the two races are living in the same city/ town. this is very important time of peace between the two races when the aboriginals are freely living in town D) I think that this might have painted the picture to make the aboriginals seem more poor.
