The National Archives Learning Curve | British Empire | Living in the British empire | Australia
Home > Gallery > Case Study
If you have looked at the first case study in this gallery, you will have seen sources that
give a British view of life in the British empire. In this case study you will examine a range
of sources that look at life in Australia under British rule. Study each of the sources
carefully and look for ways in which they support or contradict the views given in the first
case study.
Create your own Online Exhibition about 'Living in the British empire', using the sources and worksheet provided.
The Background will help with an introduction to Australia as part of the British empire.
