Tristan da Cunha live their lives, and how different their way of life is from our own. There are no airports on the island of Tristan da Cunha, so the only way to get there is by boat, across some of the roughest waters on the planet. Boats from South Africa only travel to the island eight or nine times per year. The nearest airport is a seven day trip by boat to Ascension Island, so if you are visiting Tristan da Cunha, be prepared to stay there for awhile. The closest civilization to Tristan…

prevalent in Australia can be supported by a rapid changing multicultural Australia. Through an examination of Linda Ng’s review Dead Europe and the coming of age in Australian literature: Globalisation, cosmopolitanism and perversity, the binary relationship between Europe and Australia will be looked at with a focus on ‘Cosmopolitism’. Alongside,…

The acknowledged traditional land owners of my area are the Gurung-Willam-Balluk people of the Wurundjeri tribe of the Kulin nation. History tells us that the Indigenous people roamed our lands long before Captain Cook declared Australia to be ‘terra nullius’ and claimed the land for the British Crown in 1770. It has been documented that prior to the first fleets arrival in 1788 there were 260 Indigenous communities and over 500 different dialects. But with the arrival of the European…

however, due to the growing the pursuit of individualism- an offshoot of secularism, it has caused a major increase in the population of people who choose ‘no religion.’ New age religions were part of the rapid growing faiths in the 2001 census in Australia, increasing by 140 percent in the 5 years since 1996 (Woodhead, 2016). New age religion forms an overall spiritual movement with no single unifying doctrine. Regardless, they share similar beliefs and practices which are often attached to…

Aboriginal Population development The estimates about how many Aborigines were living in Australia in 1788 differ. According to Blake (1981), it were about 300,000 Aborigines in Australia, divided into about 600 tribes with around 500 members each (Blake, 1981). However, according to Dixon, Ramson & Thomas (1990), their total number of that time lay between one and two million, divided into about 700 tribes. In 1921, the Aboriginal population was at its lowest level so far with around 60,000…

Turning away refugees goes against the 1951 United Nations refugee convention. “The journey refugees make is dangerous and controlled by criminal gangs, and we have a right to stop it,” says both Labour and coalition parties, who support tough refugee policies (source 6). Australia’s leading coalition government made refugee and asylum seeker policies strict when it took government in 2013, which first introduced the military in control of intercepting refugees on Australian waters, turning them…

Hey, are you Filo? Are you Vietnamese? Are you Australian? Well, Australia is known for their diverse multi-cultural aspect, but was it always an inclusive country? Good morning everyone and welcome to the Australia Day Film Festival, which I am very thrilled to commence today in sunny Brisbane. Australia is a major heritage site for the aboriginals due to them being the traditional owners of the land, where they formed their traditional culture along with developing a contemporary culture of…

Common Law Development Australia has not formally recognised a legal right to privacy, however, it is argued that privacy is incidentally protected by other civil actions, such as breach of confidence, or trespass. The absence of a common law right to privacy was established in Victoria Park Racing and Recreation Grounds Co Ltd v Taylor (‘Victoria’). Nevertheless, this long established principle was challenged recently in Australian Broadcasting Corporation v Lenah Game Meats Pty Ltd (‘Lenah')…

secularized old stories of indigenous groups living in country and urban territories have been to a great extent dismissed. This paper researches the parts of Australian Aboriginal mythology in late indigenous and non-indigenous societies inside mild Australia. (Clarke 2007, p.141).…

they called bathers, or swimmers? Is it a potato cake or a scallop? Depending on where one travels across Australia, one is bound to encounter many terms. However, what happens when every state and territory of Australia uses their own words and slang? This is a source of confusion for many, and can even trigger many debates amongst states. There are many different people living in Australia, all with their own identities and individual use of Australian English. It is important to highlight…
