On the other hand, women like Elizabeth Macarthur, Elizabeth Macquarie and Caroline Chisholm came as free settlers, and seeing problems in society, set out to bring change and progress. Other history-makers were native born Australians like David Unaipon, Edith Cowan, John Flynn, Eddie Mabo and Charles Perkins who saw injustice and devoted their time and energy to bring progress in the fields of health, education and law reform. Edmund Barton, Australia’s first Prime Minister, was a tireless advocate for the development of Australia’s Constitution. ‘People in Australia’s Past’ 2nd edition, has the addition of the important stories of Oodgeroo Noonuccal and Vincent Lingiari who advanced the rights of Aboriginal Australians. Some Australians gained fame through their discoveries or abilities. Douglas Mawson was an explorer who collected valuable scientific information in Antarctica.

Banjo Paterson is remembered for his unique stories of life in the Australian bush and for his celebrated song: ‘Waltzing Matilda’. Dame Nellie Melba was Australia’s first superstar, world famous for her beautiful voice. The stories in this book relate to history topics of the Australian Curriculum, mid to upper primary school levels and are accompanied by language and research activities including crosswords, map activities, discussion topics, models for writing information texts.

Book excerpt: Dark Emu puts forward an argument for a reconsideration of the hunter-gatherer tag for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians. The evidence insists that Aboriginal people right across the continent were using domesticated plants, sowing, harvesting, irrigating and storing - behaviors inconsistent with the hunter-gatherer tag. Gerritsen and Gammage in their latest books support this premise but Pascoe takes this further and challenges the hunter-gatherer tag as a convenient lie. Almost all the evidence comes from the records and diaries of the Australian explorers, impeccable sources.
