 page 6 top left hand side: 1. It has helped me gain knowledge and understanding of the people of this period by showing me what life was like for them in their time and what happened to them when the English came. 2. I would describe ‘they have come to stay” as a heart warming story that teaches you about the aboriginals, where they lived, their land and what happened to them and their land when the English came. 3. I think the message in this film about the settlement/invasion of Australia and the impact on the first Australians is that we have destroyed the land and environment that we live in today and if we had let the aborigines keep going with their lives and the way they lived Australia would be more healthy and peaceful. 4. My comment on this episode is that I think it is a great help to peoples understanding to the first Australians. From watching this episode I learnt more that I ever have about aboriginals, the way they lived, the way they were treated when the English came, the major changes they went through and more. 6. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">This episode of the first Australians has helped me answer these questions: <span style="font-family: Symbol; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">· <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Why did the first fleet come to Australia? <span style="font-family: Symbol; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">· <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">How did the two groups respond to each other initially?

Definition of: · Colonists: People who leave their native country to go to new land. · Settlers: Early resident in new place · Invaders: Inter a different country and spread through it · British: People of United Kingdom · Whites: People with pale skin · European: Someone from Europe 4. I think invaders is most appropriate and accurate 5. Yes it could be possible that the different words have different meaning and applicability at different periods. They probably would have seen themselves as settlers in their own day. 6. Definition: · Aborigines Original Australians · Indigenous inhabitants or people Belonging to a place · First Australians The people who walked upon the land before the English came to Australia. · Australians Of aboriginal languages of Australia · Using a tribal or clan name A name/the language that the aboriginals have made.

1. Keating is saying about non- Aboriginal Australian’s past actions and about this period that we English have caused all the violence and done all the damage not the Aboriginals. 2. I respond to these claims in a matter where I say he’s right, we’re the ones who have done the wrong thing and the aborigines have done right.

Source D a) My selection is a primary source because it was painted at the time of thie event it wasn’t painted after the aboriginals sat outside the Europeans-only hotel. b) The aborigines were wearing what looked like old materials that are rapped and tied up around the body or some are wearing old clothes which look that they may have come from the Europeans. The indigenous are wearing no body features that I can see. This tells me that they seem to have grown off their old ways of paintings on the bodies and they are just picking up scraps from the Europeans. c) The art contains evidence that the indigenous and Europeans interact because the Aboriginals are wearing European clothes and they have glass bottles which they would have got from the early settlers as well. There is one Aboriginal man in the painting that looks like he is wearing what could be a European police uniform and holding a baton behind his back. In the picture there is also evidence of separation between the two cultures for they aren’t all sitting together and in the painting there is a **European-only** hotel. d) Yes the art shows suggestion of bias on the part of the artist because it shows the aborigines sitting down on the street being lazy, drinking and not really caring of the way they look, which was a popular opinion of the Europeans at the time. This means it was stereotypical. <span style="font-size: 190%; color: rgb(250, 10, 10);"> Early discovery of Australia.

<span style="color: rgb(53, 89, 248); font-size: 140%;"> Abel Tasman. Abel Tasman was a Dutch seafarer, explorer and merchant. Abel is best known for his voyages of 1642 and 1644. His voyage was the first European expedition to reach Tasmania (Van Diemen's Land) and New Zealand. In 1643 he was the first to see the Fiji islands. Abel along with his navigator Visscher and his Merchant Gilsemans mapped some of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. In 1634 Abel Tasman went on his first Pacific expedition. He was sent as second in command. The ships Heemskerck and Zeehaen were included in his first fleet. In November the ship Formosa was reached, by that time 40 out of a crew of 90 had died. In 1640 Abel Tasman went on another voyage to Japan. After that in 1642 he went to Palembang in the south of Sumatra were he made a trading treaty with the Sultan. Tasman was sent in command of an expedition to try and find the “Unknown Southland and Eastland” in August 1642, it had never been seen by Europeans before. First Tasman sailed to Mauritius, the reason for this was that his ships were sailing ships and the best route from one place to another was to sail the same direction of the wind. Tasman new a bit about the directions of the prevailing winds and so they sailed to Mauritius and used it as a turning point. From there they had a course set towards what they thought was the southern mainland of Australia. On the 24th of October in 1642 Abel Tasman spotted the west coast of Tasmania. He called it Van Diemen’s Land after Anthony Van Diemen who was the Governor-general of the Dutch East Indies. Tasman tried to get his two ships into Adventure Bay but was blown out to sea by a storm, he named that area Storm Bay. Two days after he anchored to the North of Cape Fredrick Hendrick. Abel then landed in Blackman Bay. The next day Tasman tried to land in North Bay but because the sea was so rough the carpenter swam to sore and stuck the flag on North Bay. In 1642 on the 2nd of December Tasman decided to claim possession of North Bay.

Tasman had wanted to go north but because the wind was not going in that direction he decided to go east. On the 13th of December he spotted land, it was the north-west coast of the South Island of New Zealand. Abel along with his crew were the first Europeans to do so. Tasman named his spotting Staten Landt for he thought it was connected to an Island. He went on north and then turned east but Maori in Waka attacked one of his boats and four of his men died. It was recently thought that some of his men might have landed on Waka on the 18th of December 1642. Tasman called it Murderers Bay, it is now known as Golden Bay. After that he sailed north but mistook Cook Strait for bight.

On the 20th of January 1643, on the return voyage to Batavia Abel came across the Tongan archipelago. When they were passing the Fiji Islands Abel’s ships came close to being ship wrecked on the dangerous reefs of the north-eastern part of the Fiji group. On the 15th of June 1643 after eventually turning north-west to New Guinea Tasman arrived back at Batavia.
