26. EXPLORERS • Explorers are people who travel all over the world and discover things that other people haven’t discovered before. Some famous explorers are Captain Cook, Bass and Flinders, Burke and Wills, Willem Jansz.

27. When did exploration happen Exploration happened at lots of different times these are a few: • Abel Tasman 1644 –On the 24th Nov he discovered Tasmania. • Willem Jansz 1606 – He was the first person to sight Australia. • James Cook 1770 – He claimed Australia for Britain. • Bass and Flinders 1799- They confirmed that Australia was separate from Tasmania or Van Deimen’s Land.

28. What was happening? When people where exploring some were going by sea (discovering Australia) like Captain James Cook who claimed Australia for Britain, Willem Jansz who was the first European to see Australia and Bass and Flinders who discovered Bass Strait. Others were going by land (mapping Australia) like Burke and Wills who mapped Australia, John McDowell Stuart who raced against Burke and Wills to what is now Queensland.

29. The important people Captain James Cook This is a map of captain James Cook’s three voyages. The red one is the one where he discovered Australia. James Cook was one of the first people to land on Australia after that European people started inhabiting Australia. He was one of the best known explorers but that doesn't mean he was the first one to land. He was meant to only go to Tahiti to observe the position of Venus but he was sent secret instructions to claim Australia for Britain.

30. The important people Burke and Wills Burke and Wills were racing over the continent to be the first people to go from the south to north of Australia. They mapped Australia. Everybody apart from 1 person on the expedition died. John King only survived because he was taken in and cared for by Aborigines.

31. The Important People • Willem Jansz On the map in the background only one side of Australia is complete this is because only one side was mapped at the time Willem Jansz was the first person to sight Australia if he hadn't sighted Australia we wouldn’t be here and people would still think there was a great south continent here. he sailed to Australia in his yacht Ducfen or “Little Dove”

32. Did it change Australia Yes it did! If people didn’t explore we wouldn’t be here and maps would probably look like this:

36. We are culturally diverse! There are many groups that make up the rich mix of Australian culture. http://museumvictoria.com.au/origins/ http://www.immi.gov.au/media/fact-sheets/04fifty.htm Iranians in Australia Iran is in the Middle East next to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Turkey and Azerbaijan. Few Iranians settled in Victoria in the nineteenth century, with only 7 recorded in the 1891 census. When the leader in Iran changed in 1979 there was a quick increase in the number of Iranians settling in Victoria. Iranian people bought slow, guitar music, and different styles of dress to Australia. Girls wear long sleeves and long dresses and head-scarves because of their religion which is Islam. If you believe in Islam, you are a Muslim. Chinese in Australia China is a country in Asia with neighboring countries of India and Mongolia. Chinese people first came to Australia hoping to find gold in the 1850’s. Most of the migrants came from the Pearl river Delta region. Chinese also came because the government changed the policy in 1973. The policy they changed was restricting the migration for non-Europeans. Chinese have brought new languages and traditions to Australia like the Annual Moon Festival and Chinese new Year. They have bought new exercises like Tai-Chi. In China Town, located in Little Burke St Melbourne, they have lots of Chinese restaurants and some foods they have brought are rice, dumplings, rice cakes, noodles and oyster and soy sauces.

37. We are culturally diverse- continued! Ukrainians in Australia Ukraine is a country in Eastern Europe. It is next to Russia and Poland. In 1948 the first Ukrainians came to Australia as refugees and later in 1954 they came as immigrants. They usually wear a sarojka. It is like a shirt, but has a criss-cross and swirl pattern on the cuffs, collars and edges. Ukrainians eat food like Borsht. Borsht is a red soup made with vegetables including beetroot. Ukrainians have many different musical instruments such as a bandora. A bandora is like a guitar with a round end. Japanese in Australia Japan is a country island in Asia next to China. They first came to Australia in 1880and 1890. by 1891 only 30 had come to Australia. In 2001 a total of 4,675 Japanese to Australia. Japanese came to Australia because the white Australian policy had ended but some decided to stay in Japan because of the war they had had. Some things Japan has brought out to Australia are food such as Sushi, Nuto, Soba Noodles and many more. They also brought out lots of different electronic and vehicle companies such as Nintendo, Panasonic, Sony Mitsubishi and Yamaha. The clothes they brought are made of flowery, shiny materials. The art that they brought includes ink painting and calligraphy which is the Japanese writing characters. Lebanese in Australia Lebanon is a small country in the Middle East bordered by Syria, Israel and the Mediterranean Sea. The first Lebanese migrants started coming to Australia in the 1800’s They came because they thought they were going to new York- so the first wave was an accident! The biggest wave was after the 1975 civil war. A civil war is when people of the same country fight each other. A celebration Lebanese people have brought to Australia is Independence Day. It is celebrated on 22nd of November and remembers when Lebanon became an independent nation. The Lebanese people have brought delicious food to Australia, including lots of kebab shops.

40. Laws in AustraliaWe are lucky in Australia to have a government that makes good laws • Law 1: No Drink Driving. This is a good law because it keeps people safe. If you drive when your drunk you’ll crash. • Law 2: No Smuggling Drugs. This is a good law because it keeps people safe from drugs. • Law 3: No Sexual Harassment. This is a good law because it keeps people safe from the people that make them feel uncomfortable. • Law 4: No Murder This a good la because it keeps people safe from people on the streets.

41. Rules and Laws 2Rules and laws are quite similar, but have some important differences. This Venn diagram shows these similarities and differences. They both should be obeyed

42. Sovereign Hill We learned that they used these things called night sticks to bash people. We learned that sweets were boiled in those days. We learned that they had a stricter system. e.g. If you wore a hat in side the boys would get the cane and the girls would get the ruler. We learned that the bowling balls they used in the olden days had no holes in them.
