Neotectonics are post Miocene tectonic deformation on the earth surface. Its evidence takes expression in form of recent…

“Don’t worry about the world ending today, it’s already tomorrow in Australia.” - Charles M. Schulz. Everybody knows about Australia, but do they really know everything? First, they should know the history behind Australia. Like who were the first settlers and how did they come upon Australia. It’s very important for everybody to know about it, because it’s such a big country and it’s the only country that’s a continent too. I know it’s not the “coolest” country out there, but people would…

A flag is used so people can instantly recognise the country it represents. Yet, when the Australian flag is flown, foreigners do not easily associate it with Australia and are often confused. This is because our flag is too similar to New Zealand's flag, as it also features the Southern Cross and the Union Jack.

The country of Australia was built on racism. This land was taken and those who first came here, such as Matthew Flinders and James Cook. They took the land away from the indigenous people of Australia and killed them off with no remorse. They looked at them as if they weren’t even human, as if they weren’t even worth keeping alive, and yet those same very people end up being revolutionary names in Australian History and even having universities named after them. Even after the complete…

services. The belief that the Anzac legend glorifies violence and war, due to the significant number of casualties that occurred. It claimed the lives of 136,425 men from various countries, including 8709 men from Australia. War is destructive and lays the foundation for oncoming wars. Australia has been involved in several armed conflicts, since World War I. In 1939, almost a million men and women volunteered to participate in World War II,…
