The convicts did not follow this conduct and most believed that the Australian natives were ‘barely human’ (MacDougall .A.K 2004). The population ratio of British settlers in Australia to the natives, drastically altered over the century in the result of rapid colonisation and the conflicts which the Commonwealth of Australia Official Year Books explicitly depicts. The British settlers came in masses bringing a new society and culture to the land. The indigenous people were not familiar with an individual possession society and believed that the stock on the land was to be hunted and used as a food source. This is epitomised in a letter sent to the editor of The Sydney Monitor and Commercial Advertiser by Daniel Eaton in 1838, stating that ‘five horses [were] killed, and four others were wounded… a hundred head of cattle killed and the flocks and herds were driven away in all directions by the blacks’ (Convict Creations, 2013). Newspapers from the time showed that the British reacted to the natives by killing them off the land and believed that the ‘Natives should be slaughtered…[because] they are baboons, blood thirsty dogs and black animals’ (Stewart D,1986). The British were not interested in negotiating with the natives of the land and believed their culture was inhuman wasting the land. Governor Gawler stated in a newspaper article, ‘Black men- we wish to make you happy, but you cannot be

Johnny O'Keefe almost single handedly established the Australian recording industry. He won over a very cynical recording company, radio stations and the Australian record buying public and his second to none career 29 Top 40 hits says it all.

Before i answer that i have to give my definition of a hero.In my opinion a hero is a person whos selflessness overcomes their selfishness.Someone who makes decisions for the good of others rather than themself and stands by their belifs until the very end.Someone who doesent ask for thanks because knowing theyve helped is thanks enough.Those are the traits i believe an individual must possess to be considerd a hero.With that being said i believe that Alan Day is indeed a hero.He sacrificed countless hours to fight what many would consider a unwinnable battle and to train,love,and care for wild animals that people thought were a lost cause.What Alan Day did is almost identical to what i would consider heroic acts.Alan took his own money and founded a horse sanctuary for ¨untrainable¨ wild mustangs in danger of being imprisoned and fought the government and people who doubted him because he believed saving them was the right thing to do.All in all looking at the actions of Alan and everthing that happened i can say without a doubt that he is a hero and that his actions will go on to impact others to stand up for whats right and be a heros

In ways he is a hero and in ways he is a villain. Ned Kelly robbed banks which made him a villain/criminal. But he didn’t use the money, he gave it to friends and family. He killed 3 officers which is the worst crime you can make in Australia because it’s taking someone's life. He also tried to kill some police. He only became a criminal because of the police they kept annoying his family for mischief that they couldn’t solve. Ned Kelly was more of a villain than hero because he stole horses, murdered and lied. But his ‘prison’ wasn’t to hurt people but keep them entertained so he wasn’t so much of a criminal. He also was a family man so he loved his family and would do anything even robbing banks for their freedom, that’s how he got into this

Ned made the first move by going to the edge of the arena and then charging for me, I did the same and made my way to my edge of the arena. Now here's one of the things about werewolves, or just wolves in general, when we're met with a challenge head on, we don't doge it, or negate it (We're not Pokémon people) we go for it and ram them. I return the Challenge and charge straight for Ned.

Despite it's behavior, it was an outstanding soldier; burning through building and living being alike. And thus it rose in infamy on both martians and humans alike. So famous, it decided to change it's armour color to red and named itself 'The Red Terror', bringing hell and terror to the human cities. So infamous, the human armies ran like ants the moment they saw even just a glimpse of the hulking, three-legged beast.
