South Australian act
The South Australian association succeeded in getting the permission to settle in South Australia. The act's aim was to start a settlement with the best British people. this meant their would be no discrimination against their religion, no unemployment and no convicts sent. The way they made shore that there were no unempolyed was by making all the land a fixed but reasonable price,for the rich or companiens wishing to make a establishment in the new colony. -
distribution of land
In August 1834 the South Australian Colonisation Act was created. The Act was made to control the sale of land in South Australia as part of the British Colonisation. The Act said that the land was waist and uninhabited. This is untrue because there were Kauna and other indigenous settlements all in the area. The Act stated that over 800,000 square kilometres would be allocated to the colony and to be convict free. The plan was that this would be the ideal colony with no religious discrimination -
South Australian Company
The South Australian Company was formed in London on 9 October 1835 by George Fife Angas and other wealthy British merchants. Angas was a pious and an influential merchant banker. He had been a member of the Board of Commissioners responsible for establishing the new colony of South Australia but resigned to form the South Australian Company. This was created as a business venture. Its immediate purpose was to encourage the purchase, in advance, of land in the planned colony of South Australia -

The ships in the fleet included the Cygnet (carrying Colonel William Light's),Africaine, Tam O'Shanter, Rapid, and HMS Buffalo (carrying Hindmarsh). Initially they landed on Kangaroo Island, and sent out the team of surveyors led by Light to find a suitable place for the capital city of the new colony.Hindmarsh wanted it at Port Lincoln but agreed on Adelaide -

New Government
The Parliament of S.A began in 1857 when the colony was granted self- Government by the British. Voting for women came in 1894 and South Australian Parliament was the first in the world to allow women to be elected as members. The first part of Government house (the home of the governor) was built in the 1840’s and the first part of Parliament house was opened in 1843.

Commonwealth Franchise Act
Women in all the Australian colonies had campaigned for the right to vote for years, and many saw Federation as their golden opportunity to become voters for the new national parliament. Because women could vote in South Australia and Western Australia, they were eligible under the Australian Constitution.

the western front
The battles of the western front started on Aug 4th 1914 when Germany invaded Belgium. The battles of the western front happen for miles along the border of France and Germany. About 61,928. ANZACS had died on the western front by the end of the war. About 26,000 Australians were injured on the western front. If you were sent their as a soldier you were not very likely to come back and I think it was the most scary place to go to in WW1. -
Gallipoil
The landings at Gallipoli started on April 15th 1915 and it was one of the worst disasters in ailed history. The landings happened at what is now called ANZAC cove in Gallipoli. A total of 8709 Australians and 2701 New Zealanders died in the battle at Gallipoli. 17924 Australians and 4852 New Zealanders were wounded in the battle at Gallipoli.

WW1 at home
During World War One a lot of things changed. Probably the biggest was women doing the jobs of the men who have gone to war. It also would have been a hard time for the women because they would have to think about their loved ones every day and stand at the docks watching their husbands, boyfriends or fiancés ship sail into the distance. With the men at war over seas the women at the Red Cross made packages for the soldiers at war and they would be working around the clock to make packages -
amendment 2 White australia
This part of the Act was called The White Australia policy, it had been very strong since long before Federation. Although the Immigration Restriction Act 1901 was established to prevent non-white people from migrating to Australia, significant numbers of foreign citizens, particularly Chinese/ Asian people who migrated during the Victorian gold rush, were already living in Australia, and many politicians were keen to prevent them from having any political influence. Politicians also wanted to p -
