Book Synopsis South Australia by : John Fairfax Conigrave
Download or read book South Australia written by John Fairfax Conigrave and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from South Australia: A Sketch of Its History Resources, a Handbook This Handbook has been prepared by instructions from the South Australian Commissioners for the use of visitors to the Colonial and London Exhibition in London during the present year. When honored with the task of preparing a Handbook, I was instructed to compile such a work as would enable a person who contemplated emigrating to South Aus tralia to obtain, as he rode home from the Exhibition, some general idea of the country to which he wished to go. Necessarily, therefore, the information supplied is given in general terms. I have assumed the possession of some prior knowledge of South Australia on the part of those into whose hands this book may come, and have endeavored mainly to give information on those matters which would be sought for by intending emigrants. In the hope that this Handbook may prove of interest to all who read it, and may be specially helpful to those who contemplate settlement in one of the Australian Colonies, it is now submitted to the public. An International Exhibition is to be held in Adelaide in June, 1887, to celebrate the jubilee of the foundation of the Colony as a British Province, and to commemorate, also, the completion of the fiftieth year of the reign of Her Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria. This record of what the Colony has achieved will, it is hoped, be of service to manufacturers in Europe, America, and elsewhere, who may see in the Exhibition a favorable opportunity of placing their goods before the Australasian public, and, in the expanding trade of the Australasian Colonies, an inducement to open up these promising channels of commerce.

Book Synopsis A Concise History of Australia by : Stuart Macintyre
Download or read book A Concise History of Australia written by Stuart Macintyre and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-08-24 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia is the last continent to be settled by Europeans, but it also sustains a people and a culture tens of thousands of years old. For much of the past 200 years the newcomers have sought to replace the old with the new. This book tells how they imposed themselves on the land, and brought technology, institutions and ideas to make it their own. It relates the advance from penal colony to a prosperous free nation and illustrates how, in a nation created by waves of newcomers, the search for binding traditions has long been frustrated by the feeling of rootlessness. This revised edition incorporates the most recent historical research and contemporary historical debates on frontier violence between European settlers and Aborigines and the Stolen Generations. It covers the Sydney Olympics, the refugee crisis and the 'Pacific solution'. More than ever before, Australians draw on the past to understand their future.
Book Synopsis Great Furphies of Australian History by : Jim Haynes
Download or read book Great Furphies of Australian History written by Jim Haynes and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jim Haynes upturns some of the long-held myths of Australian history with surprising results. With all the skills of the master storyteller that he is, Jim Haynes exposes some of the great myths of Australian history. Did you know that Portuguese and Spanish explorers probably found the east coast of Australia before Captain Cook, and that the Rum Rebellion was not caused by rum? And what about Banjo Paterson writing Waltzing Matilda? As for Ned Kelly being a brave freedom-fighting rebel, in truth he was a thief, a thug and a murderer. The Ashes have nothing to do with cricket, the Ghan is not named after Afghan cameleers and Hargraves lied about discovering gold in New South Wales. Surprising, confounding, revealing and fun, Jim Haynes takes us on another great journey through Australian history and folklore.
