Www.owningourhistory.net.au. A note from the researcher – Louise Smyth It has been a wonderful opportunity to engage in the research and development of these Learning Guides.
The aim of these resources is to assist teachers who are charged with the important task of providing their students with an understanding of the nature of the traditional lives of our First Peoples and their contact with White Australia with confidence. This guide aims to provide insights and materials to assist teachers without a background in history to address what can be suggested as the little known history around first contact and the conflicts that occurred across Australia between those living in Australia and those coming to Australia from the 1770’s. It is inspired by the research work of Henry Reynolds, the acclaimed historian and many others working for social justice with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

The First FleetAustralian History Research. THE FOUNDERS OF A NATIONAUSTRALIA’S FIRST FLEET – 1788by Cathy Dunn 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 and marines that are now acknowledged as the Founders of Australia. This is their story. Captain James Cook discovered the east coast of New Holland in 1770 and named it New South Wales. He sailed the whole of the coast and reported to the British government that he thought it would make a good place for a settlement. The agricultural revolution in Britain, and the population explosion in the cities, resulted in an increase in crime. With this in mind, the British Government hired 9 ships and set about provisioning them, together with 2 Naval vessels, with enough supplies to keep the 759 convicts, their Marine guards, some with families, and a few civil officers, until they became self-sufficient.
Shelter was also a problem. Further Readings. First Fleet — kidcyber. Onboard were 1420 people: 722 convicts including 17 child convicts, the soldiers who were to guard them, soldiers' wives, sailors, and ship's officers.
