The concept of the “Australian legend” is an idea that has been altered many times throughout history, however the common conception of this interpretation has remained the same. This perception of a typical Australian legend is of someone who is extremely strong, independent and very capable in a natural outdoor environment such as the bush or outback. Many different sources display this idea and include the same or related characteristics. Russel Ward, author of “The Australian Legend”, focuses on an examination of the development of the "Australian character" and it’s influence on Australian culture. This was very significant in creating and supporting this idea. Crocodile Dundee, a famous Australian movie, references many aspects of what

In the 2011 Australian film ‘Red Dog’ directed by Kriv Stenders many issues relating to Australian identity are addressed including the stereotypical Australian values such as conflict with authority and mateship. Stenders uses skilful camera and visual techniques to portray a realistic 1970’s context throughout the movie. Throughout the movie it is evident that Stenders portrays his values and attitudes such as rebellion against authority that abuses power and independence.

Now, an iconic, non-judgmental documentary Cronulla Riots voices the untold story. We are invited to believe their voices as they believe the riots as “un-Australian”, just like John Howard.

This is a person who is friendly, faithful and loyal and strives to find a solution in any tight situation. This ‘true blue’ persona is represented by several characters in the film ‘Red dog’ including the dog himself as he shows companionship and resilience throughout the film. The community working there also represent the Australian identity by treating Red Dog like one of them even when Red Dog was injured everyone was worried about him as if he was a human being. An addition to these themes ‘Red dog’ is set in the Australian outback were Australia is shown as dry dessert, a common misconception which is inaccurate of Australian land. Today the majority of the Australian population live in cities where they are close to their jobs and other facilities therefore this aspect of the film does not properly represent contemporary Australian society. Although the notion of mateship and the virtues of the characters in ‘Red dog’ are accurate representations of the ideal version of the modern Australian identity, the darker side of Australian culture and history is completely

Finally, Australian Narratives teach us about respect. Through the use of Constable's intense language, "Jules wrenched the cue from Sadie's arm. 'Go on, piss of with your abo boyfriend." it creates a sense of hatred to Lachie and sympathy to Sadie and Walter. However, during chapter 16, Craig Mortlock is being friendly just because David lead the team to victory. "He flung his arm around David. 'Glad I caught you, mate.'" By looking at Constable's way to resolve problems, we can see how relationships work, how respect was shown and how we can apply them to real

Australian Film allows the rest of the world to have an insight into our way of life, our communities and our land. Australian film usually provides a hard-working and hardy stereotype who lives in the outback and takes pride in his mates, and for a lot of the country, this is mostly true. The typical Australian is a laid back, hard-working community member who prides the relationship they have with their mates, who may not even be a person. The saying ‘a man’s best friend is his dog’ is incredibly true for many, especially Australians, where dogs can be found in all walks of life. At least, this is Kriv Stender’s perspective of Australian identity, seen in his 2011 film Red Dog.

Thylacoleo carnifex or 'Marsupial Lion', weighing at around 120 kg, was the largest mammalian predator in Australia. The megafauna was found Thylacoleo was capable of grasping or slashing its prey with the long sharp claws on its semi-opposable thumb, then stabbing with its large incisor teeth. These animals were common across most of Australia during the Pleistocene period. They became extinct about 50,000 years ago.

In my opinion, dog fighting is cruel. Although some pit bulls are injured, the winners are forced to fight again, until one gives up. One pit bull was known to be a successful fighter and the owner received $100,000 in a single year. I say it is cruel because the owners use sticks to separate the dog fights and pit bulls don’t deserve to be mistreated. Furthermore, there was a pit bull who resulted dead after 20 stab wounds.

In the story of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, Rikki showed class hero characteristics of humans during his adventure in a bungalow at the Segowlee Cantonment. Rikki displayed selflessness after living with his new family through the way he protected them at his own expense. Courage, is also a trait seen in Rikki. Another characteristic of Rikki is cleverness, which he used to secure and defend the bungalow. Rikki Tikki exhibits selflessness, courage, and cleverness in his fight against the evil snakes.

The Pit Bull, the world’s most understood breed of dogs. I will be the first to admit I was skeptical about this breed of dog myself with the news stories of how a Pit Bull attacked a child or mauled their owner to death. The stereotypes didn’t help either, for example, pit bulls have locking jaws, that they bite and shake like an alligator. But like anything do not believe everything you read. Are pit bulls vicious killer dogs? The short answer is no not at all.

For maximum dung burial in spring, summer and autumn, farmers need a variety of species of beetles coinciding with periods of activity. In the colder areas of the state Victoria, the large Austrian species, which is usually 3.0 cms long, is matched with smaller, around half of its size; sub-tropical Australian species. The Austrian species beetles are less adaptable to cold weather, so are slow to recover from the winter cold and produce only two or three generations of offspring from late spring until autumn. The Australian beetles, which multiply rapidly in early spring, give birth to three to five generations annually. The French species is a temperate-climate beetle, so it prefers the climate of northern and coastal areas of Victoria and

Comment on Fact 1: Just like roosters dogs are also isolated to get those long hard training in order to win the fight and the grand prize. Even though roosters and dogs are animals, it seems like they care more about dogs more, why? Who knows but if that’s the case, that isn’t right.

From the articles Project Frog and The Koala Search both frog and koala have similarities in the text but, they also have differences. The koala and frog are both endangered and, people are trying to save them. According to the article, it states, “The frogs are dying out because of pollution, building, and a deadly skin fungus is wiping out frogs at an alarming rate.” The koalas population dropped, after farmers were cutting down a huge amount of trees, where the koalas live, and hunters were killing koalas for their fur. Hopefully everything turns out alright.

Australopithecus afarensis, called Lucy (named after the Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (p. 290)); classified as australopiths and “the more primitive than any of the other later australopiths fossils.” A female partial hominid fossils (40% skeletal remains) discovered by Donald Johanson in Hadar, Ethiopia. A. afarensis considered as sexually dimorphic, that is male species are larger than females. Studies show that Lucy lived between 3.7 and 3.5 mya and had a combination features of both ape and human. Apelike features, the face forward-projecting jaw and small brain measured not more than 420 cm- about 1/3 the human brain size; humanlike features, had humanlike teeth, pelvis and leg bones; thus had an ability to walk upright

An animal’s instinct can save your life by keeping you safe. Buck saved Thornton’s life when he fell through the ice. Buck ran around the fire with Thornton until he was dry and warm. Also when Thornton fell down the hill and was covered by snow, Buck got someone’s attention so they could pull Thornton out of the snow.
