    Australia is a very unique place, along with our multiculturalism there is also a strong heritage surrounding us. At first thought of Australian heritage we think about such landmarks as Uluru, The Sydney harbour bridge and The Sydney opera house, The Great Barrier reef and other internationally recognised places. But our heritage goes much deeper than that; it is far more than outstanding icons. Along with these icons there are also unsung places like the old cattle stations, Aboriginal missions, migrant hostels, War memorials, our unique wetlands and the towns and cities we have built. Adding all of these things together, helps to tell the story of who we are and how we have shaped this land in the…

    The ANZAC Legend was formed by the Gallipoli campaign, mounted on the 25th of April 1915. This is a date well remembered by most Australians, but for what reasons? Do they think of “that guy with the donkey “or “ANZAC biscuits “or do they think: endurance, courage, resourcefulness, good humour, larrikinism, egalitarianism and of course, mateship. Words describing our soldiers that have been synonymous with the ANZAC Legend since its inception. There is absolutely no doubt the Australian soldiers were brave but the harsh truth of the tragic ANZAC campaign has been glossed over by mythology and propaganda. Is this disaster of failed military tactics and loss of thousands of brave men really something to glorify or was the legend just a way to cover up military errors, console grieving families and create propaganda to enlist more soldiers?…

    The moon was full, but the sky was cloudy, and so it was nearly too dark to see as Ivan made his way across the field. This far away, from the trenches and his fellows, no one would see him partake of his last roll of tobacco. It was a precious commodity, a treasure that the others would harass him for until he gave in and let everyone have a taste. Or rather, let everyone have a taste until Fat Vlad got ahold of it and bogarted it for himself. It was his last cigarette, the last one he might ever get, and so Ivan intended to savor every last acrid kiss.…

    Ned Kelly very sensitively portrays the harshness, but also the humanity, of daily life of poor Irish immigrants like the Kellys. Anyone who was afraid that a big budget and an all-star cast would transform our favourite bushranging legend into a cheesy Hollywood-style western can rest assured. Even without the fine acting, subtle humour and beautifully filmed shots of the Australian landscape, the Kelly tale is a fascinating subject, whose moral lessons have great contemporary, as well as historical, value.…

    Speeches form an interpretation of historical events and values which are moulded around the speaker's opinions and ideology. Paul Keating's 'Funeral Service of the Unknown Australian Soldier' 1993 and Noel Pearson's 'An Australian History for Us All' 1996, demonstrate a contrast between how a historical and contextual understanding of these speeches helps create the necessary apperception on the given audience to convey the speaker's message appropriately. Despite the fact that both speeches were given in the mid 1990s, they were addressed to different types of audiences; Pearson's being delivered to a small, highly academic audience, while Keating's was broadcasted to the entire nation. They also addressed differing topics addressing patriotism within Australian society; the history of Indigenous mistreatment, and Australian participation in war, and were therefore perceived quite individually.…

    Australian Identity

    • 1628 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Australian identity refers to how a country is depicted as a whole whilst encompassing its culture, traditions, language and politics. Australia is the smallest, youngest continent with the lowest population density, which often struggles to define its national identity. As Australia originates from British descent, it lacks originality in culture and heritage. One aspect as portrayed by Tim Winton in his narrative style article Tide of Joy is an Australian identity revolving around summer by the sea with family. Danny Katz emphasises the difference between those considered ‘worthy’ of celebrating Australia Day and those that do not meet the criteria in his editorial Aussie, Aussie, Aussie? No, No, No. These two texts help to define the open-ended question of, ‘How do we define Australian identity?’ However, the texts both represent a narrow range of individuals in Australian society and therefore by reading these two texts alone, it is a rather biased view of the Australian stereotype.…
