About this Unit
This unit introduces students to the history of the 18th and 19th century foundations of modern Australia, and to the social, economic, political and cultural events that shaped Australian social and political institutions. Students will be encouraged to consider the process of historical change within an historiographical framework and will use primary sources to explore some of these debates.
