1. Convict Creations; The Hidden Story Of Australia's Missing Links
   A site that offers unique Australian art and crafts inspired by Australia's convict foundations. Also educational with regard to what defines convict culture and why it still exists today.  
   http://www.convictcreations.com/
   
   Extractions: Welcome to Australia! This is a peculiar country where the principles of culture appear to have been turned upside down. Australians seem blissfully unaware of the achievements of their academics.... yet will celebrate long dead horses and bush rangers. They are forgetful to the words of their national anthem..... but it would be wrong to say they are not patriotic as a song about a suicidal sheep thief seems to instil them with a great deal of pride! If they like you, they wont give you compliments. Instead, they will call you names like bastard, drongo or dickhead and then laugh at all the silly things you have done! Although they don't know much about them, the people they choose to represent their interests are also a curious bunch. Their first Prime Minister was known as " Toby Tosspot " due to his fondness for booze. Another PM held an entry in the Guinness Book of Records for sculling 2.5 pints of beer in 11 seconds!! Another went to the beach for a swim and was never seen again. Another stumbled into a Memphis hotel lobby after forgetting to put on his trousers and still another was partial to the use of bad language; frequently saying things like "

   australian culture and the arts. Australian writers make a central contributionto the understanding and definition of australian culture.  
   http://www.dfat.gov.au/facts/culture_arts.html
   
   Extractions: Home Travel Countries Global Issues ... Index Australia's contemporary arts are as unique and diverse as the society and continent they come from. They reflect an ancient landscape that is home to the world's oldest continuous cultural traditions and also to a rich mix of migrant cultures. Since the early 1970s, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists have developed new modes of expression that have brought their art and culture to international attention. The transfer of Dreaming designs from sand paintings to boards and canvases by Pintupi elders in the central desert community of Papunya in 1971 was just one of many artistic initiatives that have created powerful new connections between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Acclaimed artists such as Rover Thomas, Emily Kngwarreye and Ken Thaiday have also created contemporary art that remains grounded in the spiritual traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. Non-Indigenous artists like Sidney Nolan and Arthur Boyd have imaginatively come to terms with Australia's unique physical and social environment, while immigrant artists such as Olegas Truchanas, Sali Herman and Imants Tillers have brought new perspectives on our natural and urban environments.

Civil Society Program The Institute aims to develop a network of Indonesians who can interpret Australian society and policies for the Indonesian people and government. The largest Australian Studies project undertaken by the Institute was completed in mid-1999 with the launch of the Australian social geography book, Geografi Australia . The launch marked the culmination of four years of research, writing, production, printing, marketing and distribution to 1000 Indonesian schools. The book was produced in close consultation with the Indonesian Department of Education and Culture to ensure it met curriculum requirements for junior secondary schools. Three hundred Indonesian teacher educators were trained in its use by the Australian consultants, Asian Field Study Centres Pty Ltd of Sydney. The Institute, the Department of Education, Training and Youth Affairs (Off Shore Australian Studies Program), the Northern Territory Government and a former AII Board member, Mr Ian Berckelman AM, Managing Director, Vocational and Technical Training Corporation of Australia Pty Ltd, Sydney, jointly funded the project.

   Extractions: You can read the descriptive text which follows, or jump direct from the links in the table. We Australians understand the mainstream cultures of Britain and the USA, because our television is flooded with culturally-soaked material. But aside from lowest-common-denominator stuff like soapies, few foreigners realise that we have our own culture, our own cultural references, and our own assumptions. This set of pages will explore some of those aspects. We have to begin somewhere, so we will start with the Australian folk food, "Vegemite" Next, we will explore the world of the young Australian surfers, the Nippers Then there are the bushfires . They are a natural part of summer life in Australia, so sooner or later, you will read and hear about them. This offering features some JPEG files of fires and fire damage, and an account of the January 1994 fires that ravaged Sydney. One of my favourite activities is wandering around in the bush my excuse is that I am looking for aboriginal rock engravings which are common on the Sydney sandstone. You will find some information about them here, and also a number of illustrations, most of which are also available in a larger format by clicking on them.

   Extractions: Australia is the world's largest island (7,713,360 square kilometres, 2,978,145 square miles) and the smallest continent with a population of nearly 19 and a half million. Australia's landscape is as diverse as its culture. From barren deserts to spectacular World Listed Heritage parks to one of the Wonders of the World, the Great Barrier Reef, it's no wonder that so many travellers flock to the shores of this isolated island. Australia is a relatively new country in terms of European history that began when Captain Arthur Philip arrived at Botany Bay on 26th of January 1788. However, Australia's original inhabitants have the longest continuous cultural history in the world with origins dating back to the last Ice age. People from many countries worldwide have come to call Australia home. Until World War II Australia was predominately settled by the British and Irish. However, after this time, large immigrations from Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Turkey and Yugoslavia have hit Australia's shores. More recent influxes have seen many immigrants from Asia. It is because of this multicultural melting pot that Australia's culture is so diverse. To find more facts on Australia, visit one of these websites.

    Extractions: Aboriginal Cultural Experiences Fresh' 'natural' 'free' and 'spirited' . When we asked visitors for their impressions of Western Australia, these were the words they most used to describe both the place, and the people. You can add another word to the list - 'friendly' - as that's the impression most people carry home with them. Maybe it's the sunny climate that creates this predominant disposition - Who knows? - but whatever the reason, there's no denying that 'Sandgropers', as Western Australians are known, are a friendly and hospitable bunch of people. Innovation, tolerance and prosperity are other great characteristics of the Western Australian culture and character, and our relative isolation from the rest of the country has made us, well , 'refreshingly different'... in a number of ways! Take Fremantle , for instance - it's a living, breathing, bustling port city that somehow manages to be both laid-back and oozing with attitude. The locals are passionate about 'two things only' - and that's coffee and football. The coffee comes in infinite varieties, courtesy of the very prominent Italian community, but there's only one kind of football that matters - the famous Aussie Rules. What else makes Western Australia different from the rest of the world?

    Extractions: Fax: +61-2-958 8669 Since its inception in 1983, the Dutch Australian Centre has had as its fundamental objectives the collection, preservation, dissemination and promotion of Dutch culture and heritage in Australia, and the provision of a broad-based source of information, assistance, advice and interest - with a particular emphasis on the promotion of social activities - for the benefit of people of Dutch nationality or descent in Australia as well as the wider Australian community. INTRODUCTION TO THE DUTCH AUSTRALIAN CENTRE The Dutch have made their contributions in many areas of endeavour, although perhaps only a few of their names would be familiar to most Australians. Names such as Dirk Hartog and Abel Tasman (the early explorer/navigators) would be familiar, as would Roy Renes (alias "Mo" McCackey the comedian) and those of William van Otterloo and Edo de Waart (past and present conductors of the Melbourne and Sydney Symphony Orchestras respectively). Peter Otto (the woodcarver) might be less well known, as might the name Delprat, whose practical engineering skills and knowledge were indispensable to the development of BHP, but all of these, and others, have played important tolers in Australia's history.

    Extractions: Leaders from the Australian cultural community have endorsed a three-year strategy to promote Australias culture abroad. Federal Minister for the Arts, Peter McGauran, today chaired the third meeting of the Australia International Cultural Council in Darwin on behalf of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Alexander Downer. The Council intends to engage comprehensively with the arts industry, cultural businesses and artists to achieve its objectives. We have an unprecedented opportunity to build an international profile by using major world events held within our shores and overseas during the next three years, Mr McGauran said. The Council identified a number of substantial opportunities for promoting Australian culture internationally including the Sydney Olympics, the Centenary of Federation celebrations in London in 2000 and in Australia in 2001, and the Hannover Expo in 2000, he said. The ABCs Millennium Day live broadcast was also recognised as an excellent opportunity to showcase our culture through international television. This global broadcast will feature commissioned works at truly Australian sites such as the Sydney Opera House and Uluru, he said.

The focus of the subject is on Australian television, however the influence of British and American models in the formative years will be examined. Students will also explore the recent trend towards globalisation in the electronic media in relation to contemporary Australian television programming and advertising. Topics explored may include pay television, audience reception studies, the televisual aesthetic of flow and segmentation and public access television. Students should conclude the semester with an understanding of television in terms of different theories of the relationship between mass media, popular culture and society; the historical development of television broadcasting in Australia; the differences between televisual and cinematic forms of spectatorship; and the nature of television genres in terms of their style, structure and appeal.
