THREE-PART DVD MOVIE
THREE-part video for class viewing and discussion. Using historic paintings and other images, as well as eye-witness accounts and folk songs, they bring this important era to life for your students.
Part 1: Australia before British colonisation looks at the unique cultures and ways of life Australia’s Aboriginal people developed over tens of thousands of years – as well as their first contacts with outsiders. These range from Indonesian fishermen to early European explorers, including Dutch navigators of the 1600s and James Cook’s voyages along the east coast. (Running time 11 minutes.) Part 2: The First Fleet and the colony's early years examines the epic voyage, the struggle to establish a colony in a harsh, unfamiliar land, and the newcomers’ troubled relations with the indigenous owners. (Running time 12 minutes.) Part 3: Australia in convict times Life for convicts in early Australia could be hard and brutal, but those convicts who earned freedom could build a better future for themselves and their families. For Aboriginal people, though, colonisation brought little but disease and dispossession. (Running time 13 minutes.)
