The development of the Australian identity…
Australia began life as a British penal colony, following the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. The Europeans who arrived in the early days after settlement naturally defined themselves by their place of origin – largely speaking, England, Ireland, Wales & Scotland. It would take many decades before what could be called an Australian national identity began to emerge.
Indeed, it was only in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that a distinctive Australian character became discernible. It was sparked into life as a result of a great diversity of experiences – landmark moments such as the Gold Rush, the development of art, literature & music, and exploration and opening up of the continent. Providing a window into our recent past, this collection explores the Australian identity, and the events that led to national unity.
