Hey! This is Zoe's Wikispace! **INTRODUCTION- PERSONAL HISTORIES: THIS IS MY FAMILY TREE:**





Q1. It helped me understand it alot because of the historians explaining along the way of the episode. It was good how it showed both sides of the story which explained the reasons why the First Australians were so protective of the land and what they thought of the English taking over. Q2. I would describe the first chapter of the story like this. The description of the Australian land was how the film started off, the Indigenous peoples beliefs, how they lived and some of the people who lived there. This film shows the points of views from many of the Indigenous people and the views and opinions of the English as well. It was inspiring for me because i never really knew how they lived and behaved. Q3. I think the message in the section of this film is that everyone different race or the same should be treated as equal no matter what you beliefs are or how you live. Q4. I think this document is the perfect way to learn about the Indigenous people and the English invading the land.
 * THE FIRST AUSTRALIANS:**

Language: Q1. Colonists: A settler or a inhabitant of a colony. Settlers: A person who settles in an area. Invaders: Of an armed force and its commander who enter another country without permission. British: Of or relating to Great Britain or The United Kingdom. Whites: A human group having light coloured skin. Europeans: Relation to the European Union.

Q4. I think the best definition is the invaders because it basically explains it all really good in a short sentence.

Q5. Yes it is possible that different words have a different meaning. Yes the english probably saw themselves as settlers other than invaders because they didn't know that the land at first belonged to someone else. The First Australians saw the English as invaders because they came to their and without permission.

Q6. Definitions: Aborigines: An aboriginal inhabitant of Australia. Indigenous Inhabitants: Originating or occurring naturally in a particular place. First Australians: The very first people to set foot on Australian land. Tribal or clan: a group or close-knit and interrelated families.

Q9. I think the most appropriate and accurate definition is Indigenous Inhabitants because it sounds the most right.

Reconciliation: Q1. Keating said about the non-aboriginal Australians that they introduced so many things that we do now that may not be right. Q2. How do you respond to these claims? I believe that the things that he wrote were true and how the English didn’t understand the way the indigenous lived and how the first Australians didn’t understand why the English were there. Q4. From the two quotations on page seven I think that we should accept what happened In the past and do the best we can in the future.

It was not until nearly 70 years later, that the British sent Captain James Cook to take another look at Terra Australis. He went to Australia while he was on a general expedition of exploration in the pacific area. || New South Wales was initially established as a penal colony. In those early days, half of the Australian continent was called New South Wales. Later, the other half was known as Western Australia. Then came the gradual introduction of other breakaway colonies like South Australia, Victoria, Queensland and Tasmania. They would later become States, along with New South Wales and Western Australia. || The name Australia has been used ever since. ||
 * THE FIRST AUSTRALIANS TEXTBOOK WORK:**
 * EARLY DISCOVERY OF AUSTRALIA:**
 * **Date** || **Discoveries** || **Why came?** ||
 * 50,000 BC || Ancestors of the Aborigines || Nomadic hunters who migrated during the last Ice Age from Asia. See page 2 of textbook for a map showing the route taken. ||
 * 100 AD onwards || Malay and Indian traders, from what is now Indonesia, arrived in Australia. || They were expert sailors and merchants that had a regular trade with China. This included shipments of sea slugs, collected from the Australian coast. The sea slugs were a highly prized delicacy in China. ||
 * 12th and 15th century || The Chinese were next to discover Australia. || It is highly likely that the Chinese explored the northern coastline of Australia during that time. ||
 * 1500’s || The Portuguese may have come. || The ship was commanded by Christopher de Mendonca. The Dauphin map and the Mahogany ship are likely pieces of evidence. ||
 * 1606 || The First Europeans. || Dutchman William Jansz sighted Australia and explored the Gulf of Carpentaria. ||
 * 1616 || Dutch ship Eendracht. || Commanded by Captain Dirk Hartog, was the first European ship to land on Australian soil at Shark Bay, Western Australia. ||
 * 1640’s || Another Dutchmen that explored the coast of Australia is Abel Tasman. || he discovered Tasmania and New Zealand and proved that Australia was not joined to the Antarctic continent. Tasman named Tasmania, "Van Dieman's Land," after the governor of the Dutch East Indies who had commissioned his expedition. On their maps the Dutch named Australia "New Holland," but strangely they never formally claimed or occupied the country. They saw little trade value in the country and seemed content to stay in nearby Batavia (now Jakarta) in Indonesia. ||
 * 1688- 1700 || English buccaneer, William Dampier. || made two trips to Australia; the British were unimpressed by his reports about the place.
 * 1770 || Cook landed at Botany Bay, on the East Coast. || Possession Island, where on August 23, he claimed for Great Britain. He named it New South Wales.
 * 1819 || Brittan || the name "Australia " began to be used regularly for the southern continent, mostly because of a British Colonial Office inspector named Judge John Thomas Bigge.
 * 1827 || Brittan || Britain did not officially claim the entire Australian continent ||

What up fellow sailors? ALL ABOUT ME: I am Willem Janszoon, also known as William Jansz. I was born in 1850 and now i am 60 years old. I am single and looking! Australia was discovered in 1606 by me who confirmed to European navigators that a Great Southern Land mass existed. It was not until the 18 th Century (1700’s) that an official landing was recognized. The first Dutch vessel known to have visited part of the Australian coast was the //Duyfken// (The Little Dove), left for to examine the coasts and islands of New Guinea. This yacht, which was commanded by me, was actually in Torres Strait in March 1606, a few weeks before Torres sailed through it. But provisions ran short, and nine of the crew were murdered by natives, who were found to be 'wild, cruel, black savages'; so that the //Duyfken// did not penetrate beyond Cape Keer-weer (Cape Turn-again), on the west side of the Cape York Peninsula. The captain returned in the belief that the south coast of New Guinea was joined to the land along which he coasted, and Dutch maps reproduced this error for many years to come. ei ei captain! wanna chat!? add me: will_in_da_house@hotmail.com you know you want to! comment my pics :) seeyya round dudes ;)
