  • Period: to

    Australian Colonial Past

  • Period: to

    Arival

    1788- To me the most significant event in this time period was King Gorge the 3rd sends the first group of convicts to New Holland to found the first colony at Sydney Cove. They assumed that the Aboriginals did not own the land and would step aside. Because of this event I think Australia changed in this way Aboriginal people are no longer the only inhabitants. The French were stopped from colonising Australia. We inherited English religion laws and values

    Cathlic Religion Stopped
    1802- To me the most significant event in this time period was fear of an Irish uprising, Catholic convicts were not allowed to be practicing their religion and convicts would not be allowed to celebrate the Catholic religion was forbidden in New South Wales.

  • Redcliffe is Discovored

    1824-25- To me the most significant event in this time period was the site of Redcliffe recommended by John Oxley to Governor Brisbane as a convict settlement, a fair distance away from Sydney for re-offending convicts. Effects; Because of this event I think Australia changed in this way the colonies expanded once again and more trading supplies could have been found.
  • Myall Creek Massacre

    1833-39- To me the most significant event in this time period was stockmen got killed approximately 30 people from Wirrayaraay tribe known as ‘The Myall Creek Massacre’. In the 1st trial the jury refuses to convict, although in a later trial a juror states ‘I know he is guilty but I would convict a white man to be hanged for killing a black man.’ Even though 3 others already had been.
  • Myall Creek Massacre (Effect)

    Effect; Because of this event I think Australia changed in this way the act by the juror was racist and many if not all indigenous aboriginals would have been filled with rage and anger and might have fought and even killed the convicts and settlers.

    Wool Market Down
    1841-46-To me the most significant event in this time period was all around Australia was a depression because the wool market a major export industry collapses. Australia is hit with draught; thousands are bankrupted and massive unemployment.
