ANALYSING
AUSTRALIAN HISTORY VCE UNITS 3&4 Our past is not one story, but many stories, entangled and interwoven
ALL NEW FOR THE 2022–26 STUDY DESIGN
cambridge.edu.au/australianhistory
Written specifically for the new Study Design, Analysing Australian History is the first series of resources to cover all the requirements of the VCE Australian History curriculum.
From Custodianship to the Anthropocene: 60,000 BCE–2010 explores the ways humans have shaped, and been influenced by, the Australian landscape over thousands of years. It investigates how peoples with very different ideas of the world clashed over the use of land and resources, and how differences over the use of the environment have become a key theme of Australian society into the modern era.
Creating a Nation: 1834–2008 examines the ways European settlers struggled to transform themselves into a nation, and the key questions they faced in doing so: How was a nation to be forged and who was to be included in that nation? These questions still play out today in a deep and often tense manner.
Power and Resistance: 1788–1998 investigates how power was wielded in the emerging Australian society. It explores how ideas of freedom and democracy played (and continue to play) out in Australia, and the implications for an imperfect society as groups struggled against that power for justice and the need to be recognised as equal parts of the nation.
War and Upheaval: 1909–1992 investigates why and how Australia has been drawn into global conflicts throughout the twentieth century as alliances shifted and new perceived threats to regional security emerged. It also explores how being drawn into these global conflicts have often led to turmoil and division within Australian society.

The ex-Coranderrk manager John Green supported the Coranderrk people in resisting local settlers’ attempts to seize their lands. Consequently, the Board sacked him. He remained an influential neighbour and adviser to the Coranderrk community. In 1881 the Kulin led by William Barak went over the Board’s head by marching to Melbourne and appealing directly to ministers and parliament. They demanded Green’s return and an end to the Board’s control. Their protest and petition forced a parliamentary select committee into conditions at Coranderrk. Here is their petition of 1881:

FOCUS QUESTIONS 3.3 1. analyse the views of The Age in Source 3.17 and consider whether they are based on fact or opinion. 2. What idea(s) lay behind The Age’s view that aboriginal people were ‘vanishing’ and that ‘nature is absolutely and wisely pitiless’? 3. do the petition and address from the coranderrk people confirm or not The Age’s view that ‘they pass away without a struggle’? 4. What do these documents reveal about the government’s administration of the reserves and the petitioners’ grievances and aspirations? 5. From this time to the Uluru Statement from the Heart in 2017, aboriginal people have often addressed government in petitions. Why do you think they adopted this method?

SUPPORTING YOUR DELIVERY OF THE NEW STUDY DESIGN
TEACHERS:
Comprehensive coverage of the new Study Design for the first time Analysing Australian History has been written specifically for the new VCE Australian History Study Design and features comprehensive coverage of all curriculum outcomes.
‘Using Historical Sources as Evidence’ questions start with relatively simple comprehension-type questions, progressing through to more difficult questions for higherability students. Using historical sources as evidence 2.7 1. Using Source 2.20, outline George Higinbotham’s arguments in favour of manhood suffrage. 2. Explain how the gold rushes contributed to political progress in Victoria. Refer to Source 2.19 and other evidence. 3. Describe the experiences of women during the gold rush decade. Refer to Source 2.21 and other evidence within your response.
All four historical investigations have their own dedicated textbook, allowing teachers to confidently cover all curriculum requirements relevant to their selected studies.
Source-based resource with differentiated activities Analysing Australian History includes a range of primary and secondary historical sources and historical interpretations with pedagogically designed activity types for all learners, allowing teachers to differentiate with ease.

Focus questions begin with simple comprehension questions in page margins, enabling all students to check their understanding. Fire, grass, kangaroos, and human inhabitants, seem all dependent on each other for existence in Australia. For anyone of these being wanting, the others could no longer continue. Fire is necessary to burn the grass, and form those open forests, in which we find large forest-kangaroo; the native applies that fire to the grass at certain seasons, in order that young green crop may subsequently spring up, and so attract and enable him to kill or take the kangaroo with nets. In summer, the burning of the long grass also discloses vermin, bird’s nests etc., on which the females and the children, who chiefly burn the grass, feed.
