Australian Colonies
This term, Stage 3 is looking at Australian Colonies. As an off shoot to this there wold be no Australian Colonies without people and their ideas.
Those who have been integral in making our country a unique and special place, whether they be political leaders, war heroes, sports stars, indigenous icons, business identities, battlers, or those with a dream who refused to be denied.
Leafing through the pages of history, I focused on:
* Those whose efforts have helped define who we are as a people and how
Australia is perceived as a country.
* Trailblazers. Those stepping into the unknown or doing something for
the first time.
* Those who left a legacy for others to admire or benefit from.
* Those who inspired us.
...And so the research list was constructed.
