TASMANIA / VAN DIEMEN'S LAND
Tasmania originally went by the name “Van Diemen’s Land” then slowly formed into “Tasmania”. The aboriginals use to call their land “Trowenna”. Tasmania use to be connected to Australia but soon tore off after the ice age 1000 years ago. It was home to indigenous Australians but was then discovered years later by Europeans. The name Tasmania came from the man who discovered it; Abel Janszoon Tasman. -

TASMANIA / VAN DEIMENS LAND
Tasman named his first sighted land “Van Diemen’s Land”, and then a naturalist named Robert Brown named a plant “Tasmannia Lanceolata”. After seeing this plant people that drew maps and atlas came along and wrote Tasmania as part of the land, this was the first ever time that name had been formally printed as party of the state. This land now had two names. Tasmania gradually became the more dominant one. -

The first fleet
The First Fleet of ships to carry convicts from England to Botany Bay sailed from Portsmouth, England, on 13 May 1787. It arrived at Botany Bay on 18 January 1788. When that place proved unsuitable for a settlement the fleet made its way a short distance up the coast and on 25 January 1788 entered what is now known as Sydney Harbour and anchored in Sydney Cove. There were eleven small ships carrying about 1,500 people on board. -
Voluntary Migration
Voluntary migration is where people from other countries move to another country out of their own will. They are not forced or ordered to move to a different county. In some situations convicts are forced to go overseas, this is called involuntary migration, this is the total opposite of voluntary. Voluntary migration happened when free settlers (people that chose to move) came from England to Australia. -

federation
Australia as a country has run much smoother since 1901 when we became a nation. Before this time we were a part of one of six British colonies. Each government had its own government and laws including its own railway station, postage stamps and taxes. A lot of problems and issues began when this was brought in and people were beginning to think of the benefits of uniting as the one nation. The path to federation involved meetings where they discussed how they would become as one. -

Convicts
Convicts are certain people who have committed a crime and have been sentenced to prison. There were many reasons as to why people committed crimes in England. A lot of the time generally there would be people stealing small things such as a bit of bread. These people may not have had enough money and just wanted to feed their family and themselves. Prisons were generally over crowded because of the over population of convicts. -
free settlers
Free settlers are people that chose to move to Australia, or are voluntarily immigrants. These people were persuaded to move to Australia because of what they heard. They heard it was warm and was packed with foods. This is called the push and pull factor. Free settlers would transport to Australia on board of boats with the convicts. Some free settlers died along the way because of the harsh conditions on the boat. -
indiginous australians
Aboriginal people use to live as though they were nothing. White people would never acknowledge there existence even though they invaded into the indigenous peoples country, Australia. Australia was the aboriginal people’s home, and then the white people invaded and treated them horribly. This continued for thousands of years. White people didn’t care about indigenous people; they would treat them like they were nothing, and even used them as slaves. -
convicts #2
Because of this overpopulation they decided to ship or transport the convicts to Australia. The convicts that were transported would work as bricklayers, farm labourers and shepherds in Australia. -
free settlers
Once they free settlers arrived on Australia they could start farms and hire convicts to work for them. Free settlers did have some tough times though due to the hard weather conditions including floods and droughts. -
Indigenous Australians
Aboriginal people soon only took up only 2% of Australia’s population therefore there was a huge amount of people from other countries and cultures. Overtime the way the white people treated aboriginal people changed, but it still doesn’t change how it used to be.
