The Frontier War

In this subject students study two key regions of Australia's colonial past – the cradle of white settlement in early New South Wales and/or Tasmania, and the Northern Territory, Australia's last frontier - to explore colonial relations and also the recent past. Student-centred enquiry-based research into colonial primary documents in teams and individually through research essays will enable students to develop their skills of research and conceptual analysis.
