Western Australian culture will not be the only one that manifests itself in the roots of the nation that we now know as Australia. The culture derived primarily from Britain but also influenced by the unique geography of the Australian continent, and the diverse input of Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and other oceanic people. The significant Anglo Celtic heritage in Australia will always manifest through the predominance of the English language, the existence of a democratic system of government drawing upon the British traditions of Westminster government, parliamentarianism and constitutional monarchy.

Getting started: Aboriginal art

Instructions: Read the following information to do the activity suggested.

Aboriginal people are believed to have arrived as early as 60,000 years ago, and evidence of Aboriginal art in Australia dates back at least 30,000 years. Several states and territories had their origins as penal colonies, with the first British convicts arriving at Sydney Cove in 1788. Stories of outlaws like the bushranger Ned Kelly have endured in Australian music, cinema and literature. The Australian gold rushes from the 1850s brought wealth as well as new social tensions to Australia, including the miners’ Eureka Stockade rebellion.
