Document Summary
Australia was colonised in various stages: 1788 - sydney, 1804 - hobart, 1829 - perth, 1824 - brisbane, 1836 - adelaide, 1872 - alice springs, 1869 - darwin, 1860s - northern territories. The denial of the invasion and frontier wars continue. The reaction of liberal politicians is an example of how divisive australia day is. All the acknowledgements of wrongs have involved apologies for the stolen. Generation or the native title act and not about the level of violence. The level of violence subjected against aboriginal people has been a key area of debate with questions raised over whether it was state sanctioned or individually organised. A frontier is an intermediate or transitional zone and it important to keep in mind that, rst contact aside, it is important to keep a wary eye of the establishment of modernity throughout the frontier. This was not two empires ghting each other but di erent nations, clans and tribes ghting distinct settler groups.
