Walking Around Melbourne
Yesterday we walked around Melbourne as part of a walking tour facilitated by The Koorie Heritage Trust, situated in King Street in the city. We were shown sites of significance, and were given the opportunity to look at Melbourne in relation to it's cultural past. As you walked around Melbourne what did you discover? Were there any sites, buildings or monuments you noticed that were linked to iconic people, clans, languages or events? Share with us what you learnt. As you travel from one destination to another, in your everyday lives, take note of any signs, sites or architecture that you may think is connected to Indigenous History.

THE FIRST AUSTRALIANS

Today in class we watched The First Australians Documentary, in response to watching the episode Freedom for our Life Time, i would like for each of you to share your view, on how you felt about what was explored within the Documentary. This can be a thought about a particular person, a law enforcement, something new you have learnt today or an emotional response.
After I watched The First Australians Documentary I was particularly taken by William Barak, and his strong sense of character, combined with his gentle nature. I felt a deep sadness for the way in which he was treated, but at the same time I was amazed by his politeness in dealing with the authorities. This to me showed what a wonderful man he was, to be able to carry himself with dignity in the face of such adversity.
