This page explores a varity of topics of general interest:
  • A volcano 50 kilometers wide!?
  • Australia very nearly became a French colony
  • 20 years hard-labour for stealing a loaf of bread
  • Where does the Australian accent come from?
  • Are Australians culturally inferior?
A volcano 50 kilometers wide!? Visitors to northern New South Wales will see the volcano's core as Mt. Warning. The crater is now known as 'The Scenic Rim', clearly visible surrounding Mt Warning. The Rim is perhaps 50 kilometers in diameter (a big volcano by any standards). Mt Warning was so named by Captain James Cook the legendary English navigator who charted the east coast of Australia in the 18th century, thus helping to assure Britain's claim over the continent. Terra Australis (Southern Land), as it was then named had been visited by explorers from France, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and Russia around the time Cook made his voyage, though the harshness of much of the continent probably was responsible for those countries not making permanent settlements. Australia very nearly became a French colony A Frenchman, Jean-Francois La Perouse came very close indeed to claiming Terra Australis for France. In 1788, he sailed into Botany Bay (just to the south of Sydney Harbour) only to find the British had arrived barely hours (by some accounts) or days earlier, and had set up camp. A tense confrontation ensued, and the outcome is history.

The Fight for Australian Culture - part one
The Fight for Australian Culture
Why entitle this publication "The Fight for Australian Culture"? After all, culture is hardly a matter for "fighting" - surely it is more a matter of "creating"?. However - in the Australian context - this is not the case. Nationalists are fighting for a "new people", the Australian People of which both "Old" and "New" Australians are each clusters of the overall Australian people. Each people is compelled to express its own individuality; in order to break free of old cultural moulds. If it does not, then it retains its state of psychological dependence on other cultures - and therefore fails to realise its own potential. In this respect, "culture" is a matter, not only for fighting words, but for fighting deeds.
CULTURE IS POLITICS
"front" did at least influence many people to actually begin to think about Australian culture. This movement (or more particularly, the "front" designed for public consumption) struck a chord in a nation dominated by foreign "investment", foreign alliances, and foreign ideologies. Indeed, all throughout our national life, culture has been a political question - and we must face this question squarely.
AUSTRALIAN IDENTITY
However; Australian Nationalists, rather than being overawed by the promotion of "our British Heritage", have come to recognise that

The Fight for Australian Culture - part three
A Brief Overview of the
Australian National Identity and Culture

Some multiculturalists claim that Australia has no culture of its own. This claim is made in order to provide them with an excuse to attempt to smother our cultural and national identity under the coarse blanket of multiculturalism (the argument being, in essence, "If Australia has no unique culture of its own, then the introduction of multiculturalism would not be doing any cultural harm to Australia").
This lie can be shown to be a very shallow proposition. Australia has a wide-ranging national identity and culture. In evidence of this, some examples are provided below:
POETS:
Henry Lawson, "Banjo" Paterson, Rex Ingamells, Ian Mudie, Mary Gilmore, Adam Lindsay Gordon, C.J. Dennis.

EU-Australia Cooperation in the field of higher education
EU-Australia call for proposals 2004
Deadline for submission of application 16 June 2004 The European Union and Australia initiated a first pilot project on cooperation in higher education in 2002 and a second project in 2003, representing a significant milestone in the educational relationship between Australia and the European Union. The European Commission and the Australian Department of Education, Science and Training now announce a third call for proposals for a multilateral, student-centred project with the potential to serve as a model for future substantive and long-lasting structural EU/Australian cooperation in higher education. The project should bring together a consortium composed of at least three higher education institutions from three different EU Member States and at least three higher education institutions from Australia. The main purpose of the project will be to set up a framework for student mobility at postgraduate (Masters) level through the creation of a consortium of EU and Australian higher education institutions. The consortium will develop a joint study programme and allow their students to spend a period of study abroad. EU students will travel to Australia and Australian students will travel to the EU. Study abroad periods will have to be fully recognised by the sending institutions in the framework of their master courses.

note on Australian culture
Hi. Unless you found this page by following links from my homepage, you have been referred to this site because you messaged me. This also means you are likely from a different culture to mine. Please take the time to read the following note about Australian culture. Australia is generally an apathetic, laid back country. We don't really get excited about anything except maybe sports (although personally I have no interest whatsoever in sport). The population is about 19 million people, and the city in which I work has a population of about 1 million. Almost everyone has a mobile phone and car (if not more than one of each) and a substantial amount of the population own their own home. One in five couples don't even get married nowadays. Of those that do, a large proportion end in divorce, although there are a substantial number of people that stay happily married until death do them part. The average age people lose their virginity is about 16. The average age people get married is 26-29, depending on gender. Marriages are not arranged by parents, they generally happen because two people fall in love.

    Australian Culture
    'Legs of Lamb', by Fred Williams, is typical of much contemporary Australian art. Influenced/ fused by one of the worlds oldest people, the aboriginees, there is a central theme of nature and landscape. Also, there is heavy usage of vivid reds and earthly browns.
    Whilst Aboriginal art conjours up images of 'dot' paintings for the tourist trade, there seems to be a blossoming development of purpose. The general theme links well to modernism and cubism, for example Frank Hinder.

CULTURAL HISTORY IN AUSTRALIA
HSU-MING TEO (ed.) RICHARD WHITE (ed.)
UNSW PRESS, May 2003, PB
Availability: Plenty Price:
Booksellers Discount Code: Frontlist Showcases Australia’s leading historians writing about cultural history, both in theory and practice. Detailed Description More fashionable than political, social, or economic history, cultural history has become the predominant kind of history produced in Australia today. Celebrates the diversity of cultural history but also asks hard questions about its popularity and assesses the ways in which it is practised. Leading Australian historians reflect on the theoretical assumptions from which cultural history draws, and its strategies and methodologies. As well as considering cultural history as an approach to history, they consider it as a source of subjects for historical examination. Thus some essays reflect an author’s own specialty, while demonstrating the agendas and problems discussed elsewhere in the book, showing how an author tackles them in his or her own work. Contributors include:
  • Alan Atkinson on communication technologies that shaped Australia Ann Curthoys on cultural history and the nation Joy Damousi on psychoanalysis in Australia Greg Dening on culture and performance Stephen Garton on postructuralism and history Tom Griffiths on the nature of culture and the culture of nature Jan Kociumbas on Aboriginality and national identity Marilyn Lake on gender at Federation
Designed for students uniting historiography, theory, international trends and new case studies on diverse subjects. A major contribution to the study of history in Australia, asking the question: does cultural history make good history?

John Mark Ministries Priscillas Friends WWW The gospel and Australian culture Not quite established: Ross Langmead In varying ways the Christian churches in Western countries which have been established by the state are losing their privileged status, and Australia is no exception. But the question of the extent to which the Australian church has been disestablished is complicated by the prior question of the extent to which it was ever established. In particular, was the church of the colonial masters, the Church of England, ever the state church? I plan to use the issue of disestablishment as a focus for some broader questions about how much the gospel has had a transformative role in Australian society and how well it has taken root in Australian cultural soil. I want to argue that the gospel has never had a real 'bite' on Australian culture, and in particular, that the Christian church has never quite been established in either the narrower (legal) sense or the broader (cultural) sense. There's a certain truth to the common claim that Australia is one of the most secular societies to be found. But the picture is not as simple as this. While Australians are not generally interested in organised religion, most believe in God and are open to the spiritual dimension of life, even if they are somewhat inarticulate and stop short of commitment to a group. There are opportunities facing the Christian church in Australia currently as the gospel shows fresh signs of engaging culture in terms of Australian theology, new forms of church practice and a presence in wider society.
