Western Australia
Western Australia (abbreviated as WA) is a state occupying the entire western third of Australia. It is bounded by the Indian Ocean to the north and west, the Great Australian Bight and Southern Ocean to the south, the Northern Territory to the north-east and South Australia to the south-east. Western Australia is Australia's largest state with a total land area of 2,529,875 square kilometres (976,790 sq mi), and the second-largest country subdivision in the world – however, a significant part of it is sparsely populated. The state has about 2.6 million inhabitants, around 11% of the national total. 92% of the population lives in the south-west corner of the state.
The first European visitor to Western Australia was the Dutch explorer Dirk Hartog, who visited the Western Australian coast in 1616. The New South Wales colonial government established a convict-supported military garrison at King George III Sound, at present-day Albany, in 1826, which was followed by the establishment of the Swan River Colony in 1829, including the site of the present-day capital, Perth. York was the first inland settlement in Western Australia. Situated 97 kilometres east of Perth, it was settled on 16 September 1831.

Western Australian wine
Western Australian wine refers to wine produced in Australia's largest state, Western Australia. Although the state extends across the western third of the continent, its wine regions are almost entirely situated in the cooler climate of its south-western tip. Western Australia produces less than 5% of the country's wine output, but in quality terms it is very much near the top.
History
The Swan Valley established in 1829 by Thomas Waters is the historical centre for wine production in Western Australia. However, the state's cooler climate south-western wine regions such as Margaret River, and The Great Southern are considered to be more significant due to the Swan Valley being noted as one of the hottest viticultural regions in the world. Partly because of this, and as a reaction to the emergence of the Margaret River and Great Southern regions spanning the far south western corner of the state a large number of producers have deserted the area with the numbers of vineyards shrinking. In the year 1970, 90 percent of the state's wine was made from grapes grown in the Swan Valley; by 1980 the figure was 59 percent; by 1996 it was 15 percent and still falling.

Colonial Secretary (New Zealand)
The Colonial Secretary of New Zealand was an office established in 1840 and abolished in 1907. The position should not be confused with the Colonial Secretary of the former Colonial Office of the United Kingdom.
Along with the Chief Justice, the office was one of the first four created by Governor William Hobson when he arrived in New Zealand in January 1840. The Colonial Secretary's Office handled the creation of New Zealand's public service, and became the modern Department of Internal Affairs in 1907. The Colonial Secretary became known as the Minister of Internal Affairs from then on.
The Colonial Secretary was considered the deputy of the Governor, until the granting of responsible government. For example, Willoughby Shortland acted as administrator of government following the death of William Hobson in 1841. Henry Sewell, who is considered by some as the first Premier of New Zealand, held the position for his short tenure as head of the government in 1856.

Coordinates: 27°S 133°E / 27°S 133°E / -27; 133
Australia (/ɒˈstreɪliə/, /ə-/, colloquially /-jə/), officially known as the Commonwealth of Australia, is an Oceanian country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. It is the world's sixth-largest country by total area. Neighbouring countries include Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and East Timor to the north; the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to the north-east; and New Zealand to the south-east.
For about 50,000 years before the first British settlement in the late 18th century, Australia was inhabited by indigenous Australians, who spoke languages grouped into roughly 250 language groups. After the European discovery of the continent by Dutch explorers in 1606, Australia's eastern half was claimed by Great Britain in 1770 and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Wales from 26 January 1788. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades; the continent was explored and an additional five self-governing crown colonies were established. On 1 January 1901, the six colonies federated, forming the Commonwealth of Australia. Since federation, Australia has maintained a stable liberal democratic political system that functions as a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy comprising six states and several territories. The population of 24 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated in the eastern states and on the coast.

Australia (The Kinks song)
"Australia" is a song by the British rock band The Kinks, appearing on their 1969 album, Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire). It was written by the band's main songwriter, Ray Davies.
Lyrics and Music
In the song, the character Derek (who is featured in the story line of Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)) attempts to convince his father, Arthur, of the great opportunities available in Australia, where there's "no drug addiction" and you can "surf like they do in the U.S.A." Derek's advertisement is compared to John Smith, who campaigned for America in a similar manner, by author Thomas Kitts.
The song also features a jam sequence lasting for approximately half the song, which is atypical for The Kinks. In the Australian single edit, this section is removed by editing an earlier section of the song into another section during a drum beat, which is then followed by a fade-out.
Release
"Australia" was only released in most countries on the Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) album, where it was the closing track on side one. However, in Australia, a dramatically cut down version of the song was released as a single, with another Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) track, "She's Bought a Hat Like Princess Marina", on the B-side. However, the single was commercially unsuccessful.

Australia (horse)
Australia (foaled 8 April 2011) is a British-bred, Thoroughbred racehorse best known for winning the 2014 Epsom Derby. As a two-year-old in 2013, he won two of his three races, creating a very favourable impression when winning the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Trial Stakes, and was highly regarded by his trainer Aidan O'Brien. In May 2014 he finished third behind Night of Thunder and Kingman in the 2000 Guineas before winning the Epsom Derby on 7 June. He subsequently won the Irish Derby and International Stakes before being defeated by The Grey Gatsby in the Irish Champion Stakes. His racing career was ended by injury in October 2014. He is standing at Coolmore stud.
Background
Australia is a chestnut colt with a narrow white blaze bred by the Newmarket-based Stanley House stud. Australia was sired by Galileo, a Derby winner himself who went on to become an outstanding breeding stallion, winning the title of champion sire on five occasions. Galileo had sired two previous Epsom Derby winners New Approach in 2007 and Ruler of the World in 2013. Australia's Dam Ouija Board won seven Group One races including the 2004 Epsom Oaks and was twice named European Horse of the Year. He is the fourth foal produced by Ouija Board and second to Galileo, Australia's older sister Filia Regina has had limited success with only a single victory in a handicap at Yarmouth. His half brother Our Voodoo Prince won 3 races in Britain before being sold and is currently in training with Chris Waller in Australia.

Perth, the Capital and Largest City of Western Australia
Perth is the capital and largest city of Western Australia. It is separated from Adelaide (the nearest city with over one million inhabitants) by the distance of 2,139 km to the east. Perth spreads out along on a flat coastal plain, dissected by the Swan River and it spreads over the Darling Scarp to the east and the Indian Ocean coastline to the west is the only real physical boundary. The Perth region has been home to the indigenous Nyoongar people for at least the past 40,000 years. British settlers established a free settler colony in 1829 as part of the Swan River Colony. The settlement was given the name "Perth" after the city of Perth, Scotland, the hometown of Sir George Murray, the British Colonial Secretary at that time. From 1850, an influx of convicts boosted the size of the c...

WALBS S5 Echoes of slavery in the colonisation of Western Australia’s north. Malcolm Allbrook
As Western Australia agitated for self-government in the 1880s, its colonists were caught in a dilemma. They needed to show the Colonial Office, which had threatened to retain management of the north, that the colony effectively controlled the furthest reaches of its vast land mass and that it was able to marshall the resources to develop them. The availability of cheap and reliable labour had been an almost intractable problem since the first days of the colony. Various solutions had been attempted – Indian indentured labour, convictism, Aboriginal labour contracts – with varying degrees of effectiveness. With the colonisation of the Gascoyne, Pilbara, and Kimberley after the 1860s the system of Aboriginal labour, initially under the provisions of the Masters and Servants Act, prevailed. ...

Australian History - True Australian History Part 2 |
True Australian History Part 2 tells the story of Australia from 1788 onward to the 1890s Federation era. From the colony of New South Wales to the tiny settlement at Risdon Cove which grew to become Tasmania. Australia's history is rich, from martial law declared in 1804 after an attempted Irish uprising (a.k.a the Battle Of Vinegar Hill), to the 1808 coup against Governor Bligh instigated by the NSW Corps and its enablers John Macarthur. Aboriginal ambassador Bennelong travels to UK with Arthur Phillip in the 1890s, returning to Australia ostracised by his own people. Major sources for True Australian History: Hill, David. (2015).

From 1850, an influx of convicts boosted the size of the colony and their labour helped shape the early architecture of the city.
The discovery of gold in the 1890s triggered a boom which, with subsequent mineral discoveries, has been a major part of the state's economy. Western Australia joined the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. Once a small, isolated city, its population overtook that of Adelaide in the 1980s, Perth remains Australia's fastest growing city, and in recent years has transformed from a relatively laid back city to a vibrant one. Perth's population growth was relatively recent, but the development hasn't taken away older aspects of the city, particularly seen in the numerous parks and other green spaces within close proximity of the CBD.
Despite its isolation, Perth is a surprisingly culturally diverse city. Due to the high rate of migration to Perth, slightly less than half of Perth's residents were born outside Australia. Its proximity to Southeast Asia and Africa has led to an influx of migrants from countries such as Malaysia, South Africa and Thailand, and this is reflected in the diversity of cuisine available in Perth. If you wish to experience a cosmopolitan culture without the hustle and bustle of larger cities, perhaps Perth would be your cup of tea.

Media allegations and complaints to London threatened to derail to path to self-government; indeed the Crown retained control of Aboriginal affairs until 1898, reserve powers that were seen by colonists as a great slight on their ability to govern. The colonial government though steadily moved to control the optics of the situation and introduced a new protectorate that allowed it to preserve a labour force that remained subservient yet avoided the obvious trappings of slavery. As Henry Prinsep, Chief Protector of Aborigines between 1898 and 1907 and the architect of the Aborigines Act 1905 put it: “Neck chaining has not a pleasant sound to it, but perhaps that is the worst of the problem.”

True Australian History Part 2 tells the story of Australia from 1788 onward to the 1890s Federation era. From the colony of New South Wales to the tiny settlement at Risdon Cove which grew to become Tasmania. Australia's history is rich, from martial law declared in 1804 after an attempted Irish uprising (a.k.a the Battle Of Vinegar Hill), to the 1808 coup against Governor Bligh instigated by the NSW Corps and its enablers John Macarthur. Aboriginal ambassador Bennelong travels to UK with Arthur Phillip in the 1890s, returning to Australia ostracised by his own people.

The Colonial Secretary was the pre-eminent figure in public life in much of the 19th century. The papers from this office are some of the most valuable sources of information on all aspects of the history of NSW after 1788 - from convicts and immigration to applications for burials, lists of First Nations people in particular areas and admissions of children in and out of orphan schools and industrial and training schools.

Perth is the capital and largest city of Western Australia. It is separated from Adelaide (the nearest city with over one million inhabitants) by the distance of 2,139 km to the east. Perth spreads out along on a flat coastal plain, dissected by the Swan River and it spreads over the Darling Scarp to the east and the Indian Ocean coastline to the west is the only real physical boundary.
The Perth region has been home to the indigenous Nyoongar people for at least the past 40,000 years.
British settlers established a free settler colony in 1829 as part of the Swan River Colony. The settlement was given the name "Perth" after the city of Perth, Scotland, the hometown of Sir George Murray, the British Colonial Secretary at that time. From 1850, an influx of convicts boosted the size of the colony and their labour helped shape the early architecture of the city.
The discovery of gold in the 1890s triggered a boom which, with subsequent mineral discoveries, has been a major part of the state's economy. Western Australia joined the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. Once a small, isolated city, its population overtook that of Adelaide in the 1980s, Perth remains Australia's fastest growing city, and in recent years has transformed from a relatively laid back city to a vibrant one. Perth's population growth was relatively recent, but the development hasn't taken away older aspects of the city, particularly seen in the numerous parks and other green spaces within close proximity of the CBD.
Despite its isolation, Perth is a surprisingly culturally diverse city. Due to the high rate of migration to Perth, slightly less than half of Perth's residents were born outside Australia. Its proximity to Southeast Asia and Africa has led to an influx of migrants from countries such as Malaysia, South Africa and Thailand, and this is reflected in the diversity of cuisine available in Perth. If you wish to experience a cosmopolitan culture without the hustle and bustle of larger cities, perhaps Perth would be your cup of tea.

In 1826 Governor Darling instituted a system of conveying official instructions to the Colonial Secretary through minutes and memoranda. These range from brief administrative instructions to comprehensive documents that dealt with the more important matters of government. This webinar will take a deep dive into the minutes, highlighting how these documents that dealt with Government policy, detailed plans and proposals also captured the lives of individual people, and how to find them.

As Western Australia agitated for self-government in the 1880s, its colonists were caught in a dilemma. They needed to show the Colonial Office, which had threatened to retain management of the north, that the colony effectively controlled the furthest reaches of its vast land mass and that it was able to marshall the resources to develop them. The availability of cheap and reliable labour had been an almost intractable problem since the first days of the colony. Various solutions had been attempted – Indian indentured labour, convictism, Aboriginal labour contracts – with varying degrees of effectiveness. With the colonisation of the Gascoyne, Pilbara, and Kimberley after the 1860s the system of Aboriginal labour, initially under the provisions of the Masters and Servants Act, prevailed. Yet its heavily policed nature – the enforcement of labour contracts, labour gangs, neck-chaining, punitive expeditions against ‘uncontrolled’ populations – left the colony open to allegations that it tolerated conditions tantamount to slavery. Media allegations and complaints to London threatened to derail to path to self-government; indeed the Crown retained control of Aboriginal affairs until 1898, reserve powers that were seen by colonists as a great slight on their ability to govern. The colonial government though steadily moved to control the optics of the situation and introduced a new protectorate that allowed it to preserve a labour force that remained subservient yet avoided the obvious trappings of slavery. As Henry Prinsep, Chief Protector of Aborigines between 1898 and 1907 and the architect of the Aborigines Act 1905 put it: “Neck chaining has not a pleasant sound to it, but perhaps that is the worst of the problem.”

Western Australia
Western Australia (abbreviated as WA) is a state occupying the entire western third of Australia. It is bounded by the Indian Ocean to the north and west, the Great Australian Bight and Southern Ocean to the south, the Northern Territory to the north-east and South Australia to the south-east. Western Australia is Australia's largest state with a total land area of 2,529,875 square kilometres (976,790 sq mi), and the second-largest country subdivision in the world – however, a significant part of it is sparsely populated. The state has about 2.6 million inhabitants, around 11% of the national total. 92% of the population lives in the south-west corner of the state.
The first European visitor to Western Australia was the Dutch explorer Dirk Hartog, who visited the Western Australian coast in 1616. The New South Wales colonial government established a convict-supported military garrison at King George III Sound, at present-day Albany, in 1826, which was followed by the establishment of the Swan River Colony in 1829, including the site of the present-day capital, Perth. York was the first inland settlement in Western Australia. Situated 97 kilometres east of Perth, it was settled on 16 September 1831.
