South Australia

South Africa and Australia are two of the countries that lived Aboriginal and occupied by European settlement. South Africa Aboriginals’ treatment is so different from Australia Aboriginals. Moreover, the role of these settlements and the purpose for these settlements are different, too. However, both South Africa and Australia Aboriginals had conflict with settlements and settlement brought and spread serious disease in both country. Australia was occupied by British hundreds of years ago. The main reason why British occupied Australia is they needed more land.

Soon there was filled with Britain convicted, colonial administrators and military police in New South Wales. They brought and spread disease in Australia, smallpox is one of the example. Smallpox spread terribly and decimated a lot of Aboriginals in many place in Australia. Britain settlement did not have…

Approximately 55, 000 to 62, 000 South Sea Islanders were recruited to Australia during 1863 to 1904. The majority were forced out of their homes and others were bribed with things such as mirrors, knifes and other possessions that assist with their survival. The South Sea Islanders migrated to Queensland and northern New South Wales from over 80 Pacific Islands. They were known as the ‘Kanakas’ which is a Hawaiian word that defines to ‘man’. South Sea Islanders had a huge impact on Australia…

I used a pencil to understand things.” This statement from Robert Hannaford concisely encapsulates his approach to art. Throughout his artwork, it is easy to see this approach through his quest to understand the people and environments around him. Robert Hannaford is one of Australia’s most renowned and influential portrait artists. The Art Gallery of South Australia has curated an exhibit of the artist’s…

Introduction Change management is an important process that is inevitable for organisations to keep up with modern times and Kotter (1995, p. 97) states ‘that critical mistakes in any of the phases can have a devastating impact, slowing momentum and negating hard-won gains’. South Australian Police (SAPOL) has brought about numerous significant corporate changes in recent years. In this paper I will argue that SAPOL should approach change management using Kotter’s eight-step plan. There are two…

Australia was originally in the Antarctic circle as part of Gondwana, a supercontinent that consisted of Australia, Antarctica, Africa, and South America. It was part of the land and then broke off and slowly moved up to where it is now. New Zealand and the other surrounding islands also came from this same land, but, they broke off to form islands of their own. Because of the greenhouse conditions on the planet at the time of Gondwana, the area, despite being in the Antarctic circle, had no…

Australia’s contribution to the Vietnam War may have been small in number but it was a key and significant role in the battle against Communism in South East Asia. Australia entered the war with 30 military advisors in 1962, which grew to more than 60000 over the next decade. Little were we to know as a nation that the significance of our experience in Vietnam over 50 years ago would still be felt in today’s society. There are many reasons why this is so, that I will outline below. Firstly, by…

Neotectonics in Australia. Abstract The cratons of the world that are located at a distance from plate boundaries are considered to be stable tectonically, but in real sense, they are subjected to regular disturbance that are less persistence and also of lesser magnitude than those that lies near plate boundaries, Nonetheless their manifestation can be seen in landscape. Neotectonics are post Miocene tectonic deformation on the earth surface. Its evidence takes expression in form of recent…

In particular, there will be a concentration on how mining and prospecting interest help cultivate Australia as we know it today. This…
