Introduction Of Rail And Wallangarra

The ‘Afghans’ The first 18 ‘Afghans’ emigrated from British India to Australia in 1838, they were considered as cameleers seeing that they had brought camels with them to Australia. In 1886, 31 cameleers and 100 camels migrated to Australia and in 1884, 56 cameleers and 300 camels migrated to Australia. ‘Afghans’ came from numerous countries around the Middle East and Asia such as Turkey, Afghanistan, India etc. but as numbers started to increase, the Europeans wanted to prevent any other ‘Afghans’ coming into Australia, however the Europeans were ignorant of the an important roles the ‘Afghans’ played in the inland telegraph line in Adelaide to Darwin during the late

You probably have been on a train before, or have at least been on a subway. Trains, and subway’s have always been a huge change in technology over time. Trains has started since the eighteen hundred’s, and are used still today. Trains help us carry goods around the USA, and without trains, we would have to ship good by car, or airplane. Even though we use airplanes to carry goods abroad, the goods move around on an airplane. Airplanes also can crash more easily. It would be harder for us to carry goods, or even get a ride across to washington D.C without trains, and subways.

The gold rush was the turning point of Australia’s history thanks to Edward Hargraves he discovered gold in New South Wales in April 1851 and soon the gold rush kicked off. Clear evidence has been provided on how Edward Hargraves started the gold rush started, Information on how push and pull factors influenced people to the gold fields. Stories have been recounted on how life during the gold rush was like in the gold fields. Information on how many numbers of migrants came and where they came and what transportation was used

The settlement of white Europeans in Australia was one of the most notable yet swept-under-the-rug events in history, just like other instances of he theft of land from rightful indigenous people. To Australia, Europeans brought with them disease, violence, and widespread turmoil, but also mechanic technology and advancements in communication and medicine. There are multiple sides to this debate, from the perspective of a native Australian, European invasion was horrific and ruined the natural order in place within the land, but a modern white man may say that settlement increased international ties and evolved the nation and functionality of Aboriginal life with

In Aboriginal Traditions and Policy, the presentation group that I was part of consisted of Ashleigh, Tam, Jy, Lana, Khoi and myself. We chose Gertrude Street (a.k.a “The Dirty Mile”) to be our chosen site to research. Gertrude Street belonged to the Woiworung Tribe and was Melbourne’s first suburb after being separated from Melbourne City in 1858 (Fitzroy History Society 2018). It was known as ‘The Dirty Mile’ or ‘The Black Mile’, as it “was home to some legendary black pubs, and later, the Aboriginal community's own health, housing and legal organisations.” (Allam 2010). Our group used the Fitzroy Aboriginal Heritage Walking Trail brochure, created by the City of Yarra, as a guide which took us to the many places in Gertrude Street which

Heritage is an old word, drawn from the vocabulary of those old societies in which primary values derived from ancestral relationships. Only in very recent times, however and especially since the 1970’s, has heritage acquired its present more specialised usage as the name we give to those valuable features of our environment which we seek to conserve from the changes of development and decay. In our time heritage has come to refer to things both more tangible and more fragile. The Catholic Cathedral, Town Hall, Specimen Cottage and the Post Office all located in Bendigo are all buildings that have a significant impact towards the town. Graham Davison discusses three themes whether a building is an Antique, a Shrine or a Document which will

As Melbourne was in the midst of the gold rush during the 1850’s, the Docklands was created to meet the demands of the mass migration. This growth continued into the 1930’s, but it wasn’t until the 1960’s that huge containers were used in the region to transport goods. As this area became a harbour and transport beacon, the sheds and wharves in the surrounding area disappeared as they couldn’t hold the containers.

A lot of complaints had been made about its restoration through time, that’s why it reflects “an important shift in heritage consciousness in Sydney during the 1980s”. Is shows here some contradictions or even tensions that can happen between traditions, as the differentiation of the society led to “a multitude of different traditions operating simultaneously in different spheres” (Gross, 1992).

Overall the Queenslander and Terrace house played a major role for the arriving British and European settlers in the 19th century and helped shaped our Australian capital cities and contributed to the distinctive character and identity our suburbs we know today.

“The work for which Brunel is probably best remembered is his construction of a network of tunnels, bridges, and viaducts for the Great Western Railway” (“Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806”). This British Railway linked London with the south-west and west of England and

This research essay of inquiry seeks to address the focus question; how does their individual story of migration reflect wider trends in the meta-narrative of Australian migration? I will be analyzing and evaluating this question, through focusing on the migration pattern of my great-grandmother, Doris Dastion/Edwards/Blumke. I specifically chose to analyse the migration patterns of Doris Blumke, primarily because my grandfather (Eric Blumke) was very close to his mother, Doris. As a child, I was exposed to many fanciful tales of my great-grandmother and my grandfather’s stories about what is like living in Kingaroy, Queensland. The wealth of knowledge, from my grandfather’s tales from his youth and the photographs of his parents, Frank and

In the period of between 1950 and 1980, the figuers decresed though the pace of decreasings are different . Commencing at highest of figures at 1000 million trips. The number of national rail network trips went up erratically to zenith of 1100 million trips prior to decreasing gradually and irregularly to just over 750 million trips. The number of London underground trips ranks ranked at second position at the beginning of period experienced a stable period between 1950 and 1980 at well under 750 million trips. Therefore, there was narrowing gap between the figure of nation rail network and London underground. The light rail and metro systems only appeard in the middle of this period at the lowest level bottomed out at 0 in 1980.

To start off this assignment I will look at an old railway station. The image below shows how the old railway station looks.

Gibbs, Martin, 2006, ‘The convict places of Western Australia’, Studies in Western Australian History, no. 24, pp. 71-97. This paper describes many aspects of the 18-year period of convict transport to Western Australia and represents the final part of the transportation of British criminals to their colonies. It compares philosophies of convict places in

The New Zealand rail framework developed from partitioned beginnings made by individual territories or business people from the 1860s onwards. Provincial Treasurer and later Premier Sir Julius Vogel made rail a noteworthy board in his system to build up the state in 1870.By 1880 New Zealand Railways (NZR) was working more than 1,900 kilometers of track, and conveying just about 3 million travelers and 830,000 tons of cargo a year. The principal half of the twentieth century was a 'brilliant age ' for rail.
