| Unit Description |
This unit complements HIST151. It introduces a variety of events and issues which influenced the lives of colonial Australians, and the continuing historiographical debates which surround them. It also introduces sources and methods used to study Australian history. Through case studies and detailed source analysis students will learn about topics such as the origins of European settlement, frontier relations, convicts, the gold rushes, the city and the bush, bushrangers, women, workers, and federation. Learning will be assessed through online quizzes, a research and essay planning exercise, and a formal essay.
