First Australians
The first Australians on Australia were the Aboriginals. They
were dark skinned people. They arrived here around about
50,000 years ago, before Australia was separated from the
other countries. At this time it is believed that they must have
made their final journey here by raft or canoe. There were
about 300,000 Aboriginals and 250 tribes.

Aboriginal Culture
Some Aborigines were good hunters. They moved from place
to place. They hunted animals using spears and boomerangs.
They also gathered fruits and nuts which they ate. They
painted stuff representing what happened back then.
Australia's Aboriginal culture probably represents the oldest
surviving culture in the world, with the use of stone tools.
They wore animal skins as clothes and animal teeth as
jewellery. They lived in huts made of sticks, wood, grass and
leaves.

The Origin Of Water
Summaries:
Once upon a time there were animals that got really
thirsty and they chewed culbirra to drink. One day they
saw Bangarra the blue tongue lizard drying himself and
the other animals were really upset, because they thought
he had water. Gudjilla followed Bangarra but he could
always see him, so Jiggirrjigirr set out to follow Bangarra,
but when he went to hide his tail kept on wagging. Then
Predict:
Gula said he could do it because he was the smallest but
I predict that every one just laughed at him then Gulbirra said I will do
the rainbow it. Then Gula sneaked up on Bangarra. When Bangarra
serpent ate thought no one was following he revealed the water and
someone and Gula jumped in front of Bangarra. Then all the animals
he spewed
started going in to the water. Then the KingFisher went
out water.

18th Century England
Captain James Cook was a magnificent explorer. He undertook
three voyages of discovery. The new lands he crossed added a
third of the world to the map. He used the HMS Endeavour to
travel on his voyages. Between 1788 and 1850 the English
sent over 162,000 convicts to Australia in 806 ships. The first
eleven of these ships are today known as the First Fleet and
contained the convicts. The First Fleet is the name given to
the eleven ships that left Great Britain, bound for Australia,
on 13 May 1787. The first ship arrived at Botany Bay on 18
January 1788. The journey took between 250 and 258 days.
18th Century England
Here is some stuff that happened in the 18th Century England,
• You got hang if you stole.
• People had to steal to eat so they didn’t starve to death.
• People might get disease and there would be no cure for
some stuff.
• No one had that much money.
• If you didn’t have that much money they had to steal so
they had something to eat.
• People that stole can be sent to Australia, and they had to
do jobs for like 20 hours each day for maybe more than 7
years.

The First Fleet
There were eleven ships in the First Fleet. There were six convict
ships and three store ships for supplies. The ships were specially
built for the long eight month voyage which had to carry prison
chambers for the convicts, and also carry food and animals. The
animals included sheep, goats, chickens, dogs and cats, that also
needed special areas to place them. The supply ships were
loaded with enough supplies for the new settlement to survive
for two years, after which they would have to make use of the
land, local animals, and materials. The supply ships had all sorts
of things such as clothes, tools, building materials (bricks, nails,
ready-cut wood), cooking equipment, plant seeds, furniture and
even a portable canvas house for the governor. The ships left
from Portsmouth on 13 May 1788.
The First Fleet
My name is Stokoe and I’m a male. I stole cash that was worth
470 shillings. My partners in crime were Richard Clough and
George Sharp. We were transported to Australia when I was
34 for 8 years so when I finish my years of being a convict I
will be 42. I went on the ship that was called the Alexander
that was disgusting. I didn’t get a lot of food and not a lot of
water. I thought I was going to die. The ships were worse than
prison. I just wanted to see what this strange country is like
and I hope it is way better than this.

Bound For Botany Bay
Botany Bay is located in Sydney, New South Wales,
Australia. On 29 April 1770, Botany Bay was the site of
Caption James Cook's first landing of the HMS Endeavour
on the continent of Australia, after his extensive
navigation of New Zealand. Later the British planned
Botany Bay as the site for a penal colony. Out of these
plans came the first European habitation of Australia at
Sydney Cove. The land Botany Bay was occupied for
many thousands of years by the Tharawal and Eora
Aboriginal peoples and their associated clans. They used
the bay as an important source of food and a place for
trade.
