Australian Aboriginal trade with Asia already strong during Europe's Dark Ages..... This relationship was terminated a century ago by the (English) European invaders, who legislated against it. In 1906 the Macassan ships were denied entry, and never allowed to return..... aboriginalrights.suite101.com The Macassans were Indonesians from the trading center of Macassar in the southern Island Sulawesi in Java, which for centuries had been the outlet for the trepang trade with China. They came in fleets of boats called praus, which they used to collect this small sea animal. There is not sufficient evidence to make an accurate account of the time period these people had been coming to the northern shores of Australia. Some historians say fishermen were coming for hundreds of years - others say they arrived in the seventeenth century. The demand for trepang to be brought into China did not emerge until the 1600s. Maritime expansion and commercial development by Islam and China spread throughout South East Asia into the Javanese archipelago. The city of Macassar was captured by the Dutch in 1669 and was established as a center for European trade and colonialism. Macassar began representing Dutch colonization outside Java. The legend was that after the Macassarese fleet was defeated by the Dutch in 1667 some praus escaped and sailed to the Gulf of Carpentaria. When the survivors returned to Macassar they took the first cargo of trepang from Marege. 'Macassar' is an umbrella term ...
Episode 7.This is the final Episode in the series Eddie Koiki Mabo fights for Australian law to recognise that his people own Murray Island, where they have lived for generations. In 1992, six months after his death and a decade after the statement of claim was first lodged in Queensland, the highest court in the land decides in Mabo's favour. The outcome overturns the notion of terra nullius, that is, the notion that the land belonged to no-one at the time of white settlement

~TheJuiceMedia Invasion Day Report 2010 - the 222nd year of Indigenous survival since the invasion of the 'sea people'. In Melbourne, on behalf of the Indigenous people of Australia, Robbie Thorpe and Sharon Firebrace publicly read out this list of demands, putting the State Government 'on notice'. Each year in Australia, 26 January is marked as the national holiday. Why is this so? The date does not celebrate the creation of the Australian Federation (which happened on 1 January 1901). It commemorates the landing of the First Fleet in 1788 and the arrival of the first British settlers, who came to occupy the land in the name of King George III of Britain. The day marks the proclamation of British (_not_Australian!) sovereignty over the entire continent. Moreover: the 1788 occupation was justified under the legal doctrine of 'terra nullius' (= 'empty land') which maintained that the entire country was uninhabited. This was obviously a fiction and (eventually) was even rejected by the highest Court in Australia in the Mabo judgment in 1992. 'Australia Day' is not only a misnomer, then, it also celebrates a LIE. Aren't these good reasons to change this holiday to a more appropriate date!?? Among most Indigenous people in Australia, 26 January is more accurately known as 'Invasion Day' or 'Survival Day'. Lastly: British occupiers never signed a Treaty with any Indigenous groups. Therefore, the occupation of the land is still based on the doctrine of 'terra nullius', since ...
HISTORY York is the oldest inland town in Western Australia, situated 97 km east of Perth in the Avon Valley near Northam, and is the seat of the Shire of York. Home to an estimated 3289 people in 2005, it was settled in 1831, only two years after Perth was settled in 1829. History With the increasing population of the then Swan River Settlement in 1829, it became evident that suitable land would have to be discovered for the growing of cereal crops needed to provide necessary food. Robert Dale, 21 year old Officer of the 63rd Regiment, was assigned the honour of making the first exploratory journey over the Darling Range during the winter months of 1830 into what was later to become known as the Avon Valley. As a result of these explorations, Governor Stirling decided that the new district would be thrown open for selection and this was done by Government Notice on 11 November 1830. Named after the city of York in England, the first settlers in the district reached the valley on 15 September 1831, and immediately set about the construction of huts, the preparation required for their stock and the cultivation of new land. The first decade of settlement in the Avon Valley showed steady progress and a clear indication that the whole district should develop into a rich and prosperous farming area. A township did not begin to appear until 1836 when an army barracks and store were built. It then began to take shape and great improvements were noted as private and Government ...

In a cheeky doco, this video describes an application of a relatively new idea to science - metapopulation theory. The island sugarcane planthopper Eumetopina flavipes (Hemiptera Delphacidae) is the only known insect vector of Ramu stunt disease which could devastate the Australian sugarcane industry. Populations of this planthopper exist on sugarcane throughout Papua New Guinea (PNG), the Torres Strait Islands and on the very tip of Cape York Peninsula, Queensland. The presence of the planthopper in far northern Queensland, Australia is therefore of major concern to the Australian sugar industry. It is not possible to annihilate or even control the planthoppers in PNG, therefore the protection of the Australian sugar industry must rely on effective management or control of planthopper populations in the Torres Strait and on Cape York. Metapopulation theory is a relatively new concept to science, but is already proving very useful when management or control of a pest, like the planthopper, is required. This is especially true if the pest lives on islands, like the planthopper does. In this movie, we explore how the three core metapopulation theory processes of migration, colonisation and local extinction may apply to populations of the planthopper on islands in the Torres Strait. Then, we look at how the three core metapopulation theory processes interact, and determine whether a planthopper-free buffer zone could be achieved in the Torres Strait, thus providing much ...

What better way to celebrate AUSTRALIA DAY, JANUARY THE 26TH than by listening to an old Australian Bushman singing Waltzing Matilda..... Following the loss of the American Colonies, American War of Independence 1775-1783, Britain needed to find alternative land for a new British colony. Australia was chosen for settlement, and colonisation began in 1788. Rather than resorting to the use of slavery to build the infrastructure for the new colony, convict labour was as a cheap and economically viable alternative. It is commonly reported that the colonisation of Australia was driven by the need to address overcrowding in the British prison system however it is simply not economically viable to transport prisoners half way around the world for this reason alone. Many convicts were either skilled tradesmen or farmers who had been convicted for trivial crimes and were sentenced to 7 years the time required to set up the infrastructure for the new colony. Convicts were often given pardons prior to or on completion of their sentences and were allocated parcels of land to farm. Sir Joseph Banks, the eminent scientist who had accompanied Lieutenant James Cook on his 1770 voyage, recommended Botany Bay as a suitable site. In 1787, the First Fleet of 11 ships and about 1530 people (736 convicts, 17 convicts' children, 211 marines, 27 marines' wives, 14 marines' children and about 300 officers and others) under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip set sail for Botany Bay. The Fleet ...

A brief but shocking history of Australia following its colonisation, spoken in my real Australian accent! Ok not really. I spent that whole day talking crap to my camera, making up as much as I could about Australia while trying to sound convincing. This video is a collation of the moments where I wasn't laughing. And no, I'm not Canadian. Please don't call me ignorant, it's a JOKE! I lived in Queensland most of my life so yes, I know where Brisbane is. I am not pretending to be australian, nor am I putting on an aussie accent. I don't think everyone lives in Alice Springs, and I'm aware that australian fridge lights turn off when you close them just like everyone else's. Thanks for the colourful commentaries, I cherish every one of them!
Based on the story of Pemulwuy, this video is aimed at primary aged children to reflect on Australia's history through the eyes of the Aboriginal people in HSIE.

South Australia is a state of Australia in the southern central part of the country. It is the fourth largest of Australia's eight states and territories. With 1.5 million people, the state comprises less than 10 per cent of the Australian population and ranks fifth in population among the states and territories. The majority of its people reside in the state capital, Adelaide, with most of the remainder settled in fertile areas along the south-eastern coast and River Murray. The state's origins were unique in Australia as a freely-settled, planned British province rather than a convict settlement. Official settlement began on 28 December 1836 when the state was proclaimed at The Old Gum Tree by Governor Hindmarsh. The guiding ...
