First Australians • The first Australians were Aboriginals. They have brown skin and most of them had black and brown hair. They wore animal bones as head bands and animal fur for clothes. They were the rightful owners of Australia.
Aboriginal Culture My aboriginal art tells that a kangaroo has had to feed on dry grass so it went over to the aboriginals for some juicy green grass.
The Origin of Water Prediction I think that the aboriginals belief of water is that an aboriginal had a stick and dragged it through the ground till the stick got stuck and a gush of water came running down the bush. Summaries: All the animals were surviving on Guldjirra [Kangaroo grass] and the juice of leaves. Bangarra the blue tongue lizard was drying on a hot rock. Then Gudjilla the banicoot saw him and asked where the water was. Bangarra said” no I won’t tell you.” So all the animals had a meeting about following Bangarra so that they knew where the water was. So the bandicoot tried following Bangarra but Bangarra saw him. Then the Willy Wag Tail tried but Bangarra saw his black and white tail then Gula the rat joined the meeting and said that he could spy on Bangarra.
All the animals laughed and said “you’re too small.” Then Gula followed Bangarra and didn’t get seen. So Gula found where the water was. It was a spring. So all animals had fun splashing about and swimming. Feeling: The animals might have felt excluded because Bangarra wouldn’t tell them where the water was. I think Bangarra felt a bit upset that they found the water. Moral: I think that this story tells a moral that says never judge anyone by their size and looks. Questions: Is this dream time story real?
I visualized a blue tongue lizard drying on a big brown rock and a kangaroo watching and glaring at him.
18th Century England • The orphans in England had no heating in the orphanage and the children froze. Some orphans had to work for up to 20 hours. They were treated with no LOVE and CARE like our parents do. The children in England could get hung just because of a small crime like stealing a loaf of bread, but the bread they stole was usually stale bread. • The rich people in England had heating and soft bread. They had comfy clothes such as footwear, headwear and clothing. They were treated with respect and care.
In the English jails you would be provided with no food, water, and bed. Sometimes you would be chained up against your prison wall and there would be absolutely no heating what so ever. Almost everyday it was miserable and wet. No-one would be able to play or have friends over very often because children from the age of 5+ had to work as chimney sweeps. Life as a child in the 18th century was not fun at all. I would rather live in the 21st century not the 18th.
There was no such thing as motorcycles, computers, electric heaters, sliding doors, white boards and millions more! Glasses were around then but they were really expensive. If you were poor you would have to steal food so you could live. Some convicts were sent on a boat and sent to Sydney town. They would have had to do work for families. There was hardly any bakery's and there was definitely no gyms. The rich didn’t really care about the poor.
The orphanages were always quite full because their parents probably died from a disease or from hunger. The children would have to survive on what they had. Stealing a gentleman's handkerchief back in the 18th century would be the same as stealing a computer in our day. England was a very cruel place to be in the 18th century.
The First Fleet The first fleet started when the English settlers came and found Australia. The English jails were full and the only place that the English police could put the convicts were in Sydney town. The convicts would be sent to Sydney town to work for families so that they would be punished for their crimes. Sometimes the convicts that worked for the families would get the punishment of no food. Some of the convicts saw aboriginals every now and then. The families in Sydney town were to provide the convicts with food and water.
Hi my name is George Robinson and I’m 31 years old. Unfortunately I don’t have a job. I really want to have a job like my brothers. His job is being a seaman. Even though it’s a wet, cold and windy job I will still earn money each year. He is lucky because he gets paid 1 penny each week. Its quite annoying because beginners get paid 2 shillings a year!
7 years ago I was transported to a new place because I stole a purse and cash. I am now 38 and I am again living on the streets of England. I was going to get hung for the crime that I committed, but when the court heard about a new place they called Sydney town. So instead of hanging me they sentenced me to 7 years transportation. I was so glad that they changed their minds because I really didn’t want to die at the age of 31! Most of my mates that were convicts died and were thrown over board. I was not alone till I found out there were rats to keep me company other than the other stinky convicts.

Bound For Botany Bay Who is singing this song? Convicts on the ship are singing the song Bound for Botany Bay. Why are they singing it? To express the convicts feelings. Why are they saying ‘farewell to Old England forever?’ Because the convicts might think they’ll be at Botany Bay forever. Where were they going? Why? The convicts were going to Botany Bay because they stole something.
