Download or read book The Centenary Companion to Australian Federation written by Helen Irving and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-12-06 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published to mark the centenary of Federation, this important book explores Australia's national origins in a comprehensive and accessible way. A high-calibre team of writers has been gathered to write the first ever comprehensive, general history of Federation. Starting from the perspective of the individual colonies as they made their way towards membership of the Australian Commonwealth in 1901, the book also provides cross-referenced short alphabetical entries covering key events, people and concepts. It approaches Federation not simply as a formal political story, but as a social and cultural process, maintaining the relevance of nation-making by highlighting ongoing debates about democracy, sovereignty and progressive citizenry. A major contribution to the Centenary of Federation, this book should become a standard reference for scholars, students and general readers in the continuing discussions of Australia's future as a nation.
Download or read book Jupiter Mosman The Gold Discoverer at Charters Towers written by Michael Brumby and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jupiter Mosman discovered the first gold at Charters Towers in December 1871. And yet it took 30 years before this was acknowledged and a further 50 years before a monument was raised to celebrate Jupiter’s contribution to the making of the largest goldfield in Queensland. This is the story of Jupiter Mosman’s slow emergence as the declared discoverer at Charters Towers where he spent most of his life. This is set against new research into how the city’s Indigenous People were also accommodated: from first contact in 1845 to self-determination in the 1970s.

Download or read book The Long Story written by Graham Perrett and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wayne Long is a proud Murri man, born in St George on the Balonne River, but he is also a child of the Middle Kingdom – his grandfather, Old Billy Long, was part of the Chinese diaspora. Wayne’s story is interwoven with the historical, political and social events that have impacted on inter-racial relations in Australia for more than two hundred years, from Cook’s landing to Mabo, from the Frontier Wars to the 1987 Goondiwindi riots, from the White Australia Policy to Paul Keating’s Redfern speech. It is a Long story – long in history and blood, and long in personal tragedy and resilience – that gives a voice to that compelling presence that has always been here but rarely heard. Wayne Long’s journey, like that of so many Australians with First Nations and Chinese roots, is one of humour, wonder, sadness, resilience. A triumph of magic and endurance. “Wayne is as strong on his long links back to the Middle Kingdom as he is on his Kamilaroi roots. Irrespective of the name of his ancestral village, he knows where he belongs. And just like every home – it doesn’t really matter where you’re from, it’s how you commit to where you’re at that truly counts.”
