Historical Knowledge and Understanding

The Australian Colonies
Reasons (economic, political and social) for the establishment of British colonies in
Australia after 1800. (ACHHK093)

The nature of convict or colonial presence, including the factors that influenced patterns of
development, aspects of the daily life of the inhabitants (including Aboriginal Peoples and
Torres Strait Islander Peoples) and how the environment changed. (ACHHK094)

The impact of a significant development or event on a colony; for example, frontier
conflict, the gold rushes, the Eureka Stockade, internal exploration, the advent of rail, the
expansion of farming, drought. (ACHHK095)

The reasons people migrated to Australia from Europe and Asia, and the experiences and
contributions of a particular migrant group within a colony. (ACHHK096)

The role that a significant individual or group played in shaping a colony; for example,
explorers, farmers, entrepreneurs, artists, writers, humanitarians, religious and political
leaders, and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples. (ACHHK097)
History / Year 5 / Historical Knowledge and Understanding / The Australian
Colonies
Content description
The impact of a significant development or event on a colony; for example,
frontier conflict, the gold rushes, the Eureka Stockade, internal exploration, the
advent of rail, the expansion of farming, drought.

Elaborations
• investigating an event or development and explaining its economic, social and
   political impact on a colony (for example the consequences of frontier conflict
   events such as the Myall Creek Massacre, the Pinjarra Massacre; the impact
   of South Sea Islanders on sugar farming and the timber industry; the impact
   of the Eureka Stockade on the development of democracy)

• creating ‘what if’ scenarios by constructing different outcomes for a key
  event, for example ‘What if Peter Lalor had encouraged gold miners to pay
  rather than resist licence fees?’

2. Flies! – William Howitt (mp3 file)
“ The little black-devil fly all day attacked our eyes, nose and mouth: and great
blowflies in thousands blew our blankets, rugs and everything woollen, all over
with their maggots, which were at once dried upon by the sun. They covered
spaces of a foot square at once with them, all adhering by a sort of gluiness.”
(William Howitt Land, Labour and Gold; or Two Years in Victoria Longmans, London, 1855 quoted in
Nancy Keesing (ed) History of the Australian Gold Rushes by those who were there. Angus and
Robertson, Melbourne 1981 edition. P 110)

Notas del editor

  1. Although a number of people laid a claim to the concept of the postage stamp, postage stamps were first introduced in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland on 1 May 1840, as part of postal reforms promoted by Sir Rowland Hill. With its introduction the postage fee was to be paid by the sender and not the recipient, though sending mail prepaid was not a requirement. The first stamp, the penny black, put on sale on 1 May, was valid from 6 May 1840; two days later came the two pence blue. Both show an engraving of the young Queen Victoria and were a success though refinements like perforations were instituted later. At the time, there was no reason to include the United Kingdom's name on the stamp, and the UK remains the only country not to identify itself by name on the stamps (the monarch's head is used as identification).Following the introduction of the stamp in the UK the number of letters increased from 82 million in 1839 to 170 million in 1841.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postage_stamp

  3. European settlement of Australia coincides with the birth of rail travel
  4. The first commercial Christmas cards were commissioned by Sir Henry Cole in London in 1843 and featured an illustration by John Callcott-Horsley. The central picture, of a family with a small child drinking wine together, proved controversial, but beside it were scenes of people performing acts of charity - an important part of the Victorian Christmas spirit. The idea was shrewd: Cole had helped introduce the Penny Post three years earlier. Two batches totaling 2,050 cards were printed and sold that year for a shilling each.Early English cards rarely showed winter or religious themes, instead favoring flowers, fairies and other fanciful designs that reminded the recipient of the approach of spring. Humorous and sentimental images of children and animals were popular, as were increasingly elaborate shapes, decorations and materials. Postman in Victorian England were nicknamed “Robins” because their uniforms were red. Victorian Christmas cards often showed a robin delivering Christmas mail.Sir Henry Cole (15 July 1808 – 18 April 1882) was an English civil servant and inventor who facilitated many innovations in commerce and education in 19th century Britain. Cole is credited with devising the first stamp, the concept of sending greetings cards at Christmas time and introducing the world's first commercial Christmas card in 1843. He also conceived the idea of the 1851 Great Exhibition and was a great friend of Prince Albert.
  5. "A Visit from St. Nicholas", also known as "The Night Before Christmas" and "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" from its first line, is a poem first published anonymously in 1823 and generally attributed to Clement Clarke Moore, although the claim has also been made that it was written by Henry Livingston, Jr.The poem, which has been called "arguably the best-known verses ever written by an American", is largely responsible for the conception of Santa Claus from the mid-nineteenth century to today, including his physical appearance, the night of his visit, his mode of transportation, the number and names of his reindeer, as well as the tradition that he brings toys to children. Prior to the poem, American ideas about St. Nicholas and other Christmastide visitors varied considerably. The poem has influenced ideas about St. Nicholas and Santa Claus from the United States to the rest of the English-speaking world, including Australia, and beyond.
  6. Edward JennerIn 1796, he carried out his now famous experiment on eight-year-old James Phipps. Jenner inserted pus taken from a cowpox pustule and inserted it into an incision on the boy's arm. He was testing his theory, drawn from the folklore of the countryside, that milkmaids who suffered the mild disease of cowpox never contracted smallpox, one of the greatest killers of the period, particularly among children. Jenner subsequently proved that having been inoculated with cowpox Phipps was immune to smallpox. He submitted a paper to the Royal Society in 1797 describing his experiment, but was told that his ideas were too revolutionary and that he needed more proof. Undaunted, Jenner experimented on several other children, including his own 11-month-old son. In 1798, the results were finally published and Jenner coined the word vaccine from the Latin 'vacca' for cow.http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/jenner_edward.shtml

  19. Photo is in the Ballarat Gold Museum collection Reg. No. 70.1653, meaning it is a Sovereign Hill owned imaged.  The catalogue record tells us that the image shows the home of Mr & Mrs Oswell with two daughters and two unknown people.  The note says the home was probably at Ross Creek and the image taken around 1871-1872.  The baby in the picture (sitting on the ground) was the donor’s mother.   It was donated by Mrs Myrtle Clarke around 1981 when she was living at the Q.E. centre.  The note also refers to a postal box for mail in the front wall of the cottage and notes the man playing a clarinet. 
  20. Don’t forget the plumbing.Make links between sewerage and health.
  21. Pierre-Édouard Frère was a Realist painter who became the leader of the “sympathetic art” movement in France, a vein of Realism which sensitively portrayed the lower classes with dignity and charm, glorifying the simplicity of their lives and their work. While many Realists focused on the gritty spectacles of the streets of Paris, Frère became especially known for his sympathetic portraits of women, and especially young children, completing daily household chores and other domestic activities. This form of art had its origins in the eighteenth century French painting by such artists as Jean-SiméonChardin and the Le Nain brothers who, in turn, were inspired by the seventeenth century Dutch artists. Pierre-Édouard Frère reacted to the growing concern over the lower classes by depicting them not as products of a society which had rejected them, as many artists had portrayed them, but rather showed them partaking in their daily activities that at this point in history, were beginning to vanish. Frère’s work provides a record of times past, an idealized version of the difficult life faced by the lower classes of the period. Frère’s sympathetic art seems less concerned with social propaganda than do many other Realist counterparts and more concerned with finding charm in the daily existence of people who had less than others.

  23. The government responded by creating a state-wide rail system. In 1861 the Ballarat line opened – only 10 years after the discovery of gold.B class locomotives were used after 1863, they were originally imported thenbuilt in Victoria from British patterns. Note spark arrester on front funnel added to cope with Australian conditions. Centre dome was polished brass, train green. Carriage in left rear of photo shows the two containers on the roof which held the whale oil for the lamps.
  24. http://museumvictoria.com.au/sunshine/index.htmThis interactive collection of photographs and moving footage on the Museum of Victoria site illustrates the activities and impact of the agricultural enterprise created by HV McKay from 1900 to the late 1960s.
  25. Oxley Museum Wellington NSWThe Oxley Museum Wellington NSW is run by the Wellington Historical Society. It is situated on thecorner of Warne and Percy Streets and is openthe following hours:Monday to Friday 1.30pm to 4.30pm
  26. Until the invention of the Stump Jump Plough by Richard Bowyer in South Australia 1876, and the later development and perfection by Clarence Herbert, South Australian farmers in the Mallee lands had a soul destroying and almost impossible task to clear their land and make a living from wheat growing.
  27. A visit to a local cemetery is invaluable for introducing stories of local citizens and events. For example the miners and soldiers who fell at Eureka along with James “Scottie” Scobie are buried in the Old Ballarat Cemetery. Cemeteries also poses questions relating to health, infant mortality, accidents and family size.
