Book excerpt: Success stories of Indo-Australians is the first major study of the post second world war migration from India to Australia. Although Indians have been travelling to Australia since Settlement anecdotal evidence suggests that they may have been arriving on Australian shores long before that time and DNA testing supports this circumstantial evidence.However, the British Navies, both military and civilian employed Indians called Lascars to work on their ships which visited Australia from the earliest of times. Indians also accompanied Army Officers and wealthy business people as domestics, these early Indian arrivals were followed in the 1860s by Indian Cameleers who serviced outback Australia. They were followed in the 1880s by Labourers, Indian Hawkers and Sugarcane Cutters, these migrations continued until the introduction of the Immigration Restriction Act 1901 known as the White Australia Policy which restricted the entry into Australia of people who were not of European descent. On the other hand, Indian Students entered Australia under the Colombo Plan from the 1950s onwards. The personal story of Dr Gurcharan Singh Sidhu elucidates his experience. Here 50 success stories will include the lives of some of the most prominent Indians who migrated to Australia since 1950.The main aims and objectives of writing this book are to present in a plausible, critical way the history of Indians who migrated to Australia since 1950. It will be a communicative learning process for future generations and will help them and others understand society and their place within it, so that they develop a sense of their culture, skills, contribution and presentation.You will read how India and Australia share much in common as vibrant, functioning, multicultural democracies. At the most fundamental level, Australia and India are both liberal democracies, which share a commitment to the rule of law, fundamental human rights and the peaceful resolution of disputes. As a result of British Colonisation, the relationship between the two countries was based on the three "C's" - Cricket, Curry and the Commonwealth and also in most cases the use of the English language.

Download or read book The All-Time Australian 200 Rich List written by W. D. Rubinstein and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who have been the wealthiest Australians ever? How many are still alive today? How do we measure wealth through the ages and how do today's wealth giants like Murdoch and Packer compare with those in the past? This extraordinary social history lists over 200 of the wealthiest Australians of all time. Readers will delight in the astonishing history of these individuals: * the surgeon who joined in the 1797 Mutiny of the British fleet and was transported to Sydney, who then developed the largest medical practice in the colony and became a major landowner; * one of the most famous Australians who allegedly amassed his wealth by getting officers and small landholders drunk at his public house and then allowing them to sign away their rights to their possessions as security for their debts; * the director of the Bank of New South Wales who committed suicide due to a bad case of depression and gout; * the pronounced lunatic' who got into constant strife with the governor; * the grazier who was stabbed in the groin with a pair of sheep-shears; * one of Australia's richest ever women and the great mystery surrounding her. With detailed information on how they made their money and what sort of people they were and are, The All-time Australian 200 Rich List paints a lively portrait of these distinctive individuals. Some of them were transported as convicts, others had de facto relationships with convicts, and yet as a group they became the nation's wealthiest people and formed the very foundation of our traditional ideas about how Australian history and its economic development were created. Professor William D. Rubinstein has 14 books to his credit, including Men of Property: The Very Wealthy in Britain Since the Industrial Revolution (Rutgers University Press, 1981), The Jews in Australia (AE Press, 1986) and Jews in the Sixth Continent edited by W.D. Rubinstein (Allen + Unwin, 1987). He holds the Chair in History at the University of Aberystwyth (Wales) and previously held academic posts at the Australian National and Deakin Universities.

Book excerpt: This journal provides a scaffolding to help the student (ages 10+) to conduct independent inquiry and research into 33 famous Australians past and present. Students can use reference books from the library or the internet to help with their research. They will discover the diverse talents, resilience, courage, as well as the humanitarian and cultural heritage of Australians who have shaped the Australia we know today. The milestones-challenges page helps students to uncover the challenges bravely overcome by these Australians on their journey to the "top of the mountain" achievements that made them famous. With the wide range of careers and jobs presented in this journal, the student may be inspired to explore some of these further. Students can add 5 additional Australians to their study by using the recommended list or using their own heroes and icons. Included at the end of this journal are 11 bonus guided activities covering a wide range of topics and interests, including a Most Outstanding Australian Award, Bridge Designs, Sports Research, Filmmaking, Writing & Illustrating, Art & Art Critique, Poem/Song Writing, Animal Research, Conservation Scientist career study, Maths In Nature, and Problem Solving. Which ones will cause your child to light up with excitement? STUDENT DEVELOPMENT These journals have been created with my own home-schooling child and other homeschool children in mind. These journals are NOT WORKSHEETS that require standard correct answers. Apart from asking for biographical information, they contain PROMPTS which help to direct a student's research and ask for OPEN-ENDED responses from the student. This allows for critical analyses of what they have read and expression of opinion. They will only write down what is meaningful to them and start finding their own voice. They also develop vocabulary and refine their writing skills since they are asked to communicate their thinking. MEETING AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS Now as homeschool parents, we are concerned about covering the required curriculum for our moderator. Besides covering Language and Writing, Historical Knowledge and Understanding, and Historical Skills, these research journals can help children meet nearly all of the General Capabilities (GC) requirements of the Australian Curriculum and assist in preparing them well for the 21st century. These GC requirements listed on the ACARA website are Literacy, Numeracy, ICT Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking, Ethical Behaviour, Personal and Social Capability, and Intercultural Understanding.

This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australians in Papua New Guinea provides a history of the late Australian years in Papua New Guinea through the eyes of 13 Australians and four Papua New Guineans by presenting the experiences of Australians who went to work in Papua New Guinea (PNG) over several decades before the 1970s. This extraordinary book balances expatriates with indigenous Papua New Guineans, balances gender, and pioneers an innovative combination of written reminiscences and interviews that reveal the impact of Australian colonial policy on pre-indendence PNG. It follows medical practitioners Michael Alpers, Ken Clezy, Margaret Smith, Ian Maddocks, and Anthony Radford (with accompanying reflections by wife, Robin) who grappled with complex medical issues in difficult surroundings. Other contributors—John Langmore, John Ley, and Bill Brown—became experts in governance. The final group featured was involved in education and social change: Ken Inglis, Bill Gammage, and Christine Stewart. Papua New Guinean contributors: medical expert Sir Isi Henao Kevau, diplomats Charles Lepani and Dame Meg Taylor, and educator and politician Dame Carol Kidu further deepen the insights of this collection. A final reflection is provided by historian Jonathan Ritchie, himself part of an Australian family in PNG. The history of this important Pacific nation unfolds as do the histories of individuals who were involved in its formative decades.

This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents distinctive, innovative models of teacher education from Australia, discusses their successful elements and considers possibilities for successful teacher education in the twenty-first century. Each model is couched within the international teacher education concerns of the theory practice nexus, school-university partnerships, reflective practice, and the role of technology. The contributing authors, drawn from different contexts and locations around Australia, each offers research-based perspectives on successful teacher education. Responses to teacher education challenges in rural and regional contexts, metropolitan areas, among low socio-economic populations and Indigenous communities are considered. Ways in which technology, and in particular mobile technology, can be used to support learning across these diverse contexts are illustrated, as is the role of reflective practice to encourage critical reflection for improving teacher learning. Collectively, the authors present a range of directions that can guide the future of teacher education both nationally and internationally, demonstrating that context, partnerships, reflection and technology are critical elements in the provision of successful teacher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The iconic Australian exploration story - brought to life by Peter FitzSimons, Australia's storyteller. 'They have left here today!' he calls to the others. When King puts his hand down above the ashes of the fire, it is to find it still hot. There is even a tiny flame flickering from the end of one log. They must have left just hours ago. MELBOURNE, 20 AUGUST 1860. In an ambitious quest to be the first Europeans to cross the harsh Australian continent, the Victorian Exploring Expedition sets off, farewelled by 15,000 cheering well-wishers. Led by Robert O'Hara Burke, a brave man totally lacking in the bush skills necessary for his task; surveyor and meteorologist William Wills; and 17 others, the expedition took 20 tons of equipment carried on six wagons, 23 horses and 26 camels. Almost immediately plagued by disputes and sackings, the expeditioners battled the extremes of the Australian landscape and weather: its deserts, the boggy mangrove swamps of the Gulf, the searing heat and flooding rains. Food ran short and, unable to live off the land, the men nevertheless mostly spurned the offers of help from the local Indigenous people. In desperation, leaving the rest of the party at the expedition's depot on Coopers Creek, Burke, Wills, Charley Gray and John King made a dash for the Gulf in December 1860. Bad luck and bad management would see them miss by just hours a rendezvous back at Coopers Creek, leaving them stranded in the wilderness with practically no supplies. Only King survived to tell the tale. Yet, despite their tragic fates, the names of Burke and Wills have become synonymous with perseverance and bravery in the face of overwhelming odds. They live on in our nation's history - and their story remains immediate and compelling.
