Therefore, the addition of her faded image in within the composition constructs an evocative feeling of loss, portraying the destructive impact of colonisation in Indigenous culture. Similarly, the geometric lines and perspective shapes contrast with the other painted styles of the artwork, and with Truganini being at the central vanishing point, it furthers that sense of loss. Thus, through the design principle of contrast, Bennett effectively conveys the historical and cultural impacts that colonisation had on Indigenous people across Australia and the concern over his personal
The Australian landscape is romanticized through poems like Dorothea Mackellar's "My Country". However, rather than appreciating the uniqueness of the Australian Bush, colonial Australians have instead exploited and used the landscape for financial gain.

He characterizes the bittersweet relationship between striving for the American dream, and being denied that dream due to racism. While the America we are meant to see is a beautiful land of opportunity, McKay see’s as an ugly, flawed, system that crushes the hopes and dreams of the African-American people.
Australia is a very unique place, along with our multiculturalism there is also a strong heritage surrounding us. At first thought of Australian heritage we think about such landmarks as Uluru, The Sydney harbour bridge and The Sydney opera house, The Great Barrier reef and other internationally recognised places. But our heritage goes much deeper than that; it is far more than outstanding icons. Along with these icons there are also unsung places like the old cattle stations, Aboriginal missions, migrant hostels, War memorials, our unique wetlands and the towns and cities we have built. Adding all of these things together, helps to tell the story of who we are and how we have shaped this land in the unique identity it has today.
Nellie Bly was an intrepid female journalist in a time when the idea of having women in the workplace was still a questionable and controversial matter. This especially pertains to positions that have long since been male dominated and controlled. If women were to have occupation at all, they usually filled more respectable and passive jobs, such as being a teacher, governess, or a secretary. Nellie Bly surpassed the menial gender specific roles, and became one of the very first female investigative reporter. Her exploits spanned many different causes and adventures, and to this day, she remains a shining beacon of perseverance and inspiration for countless independent women.

Australia was never really an origin of Europeans, but was the origin of the indigenous people: Aborigines. People may think that some Europeans came from Australia as well, but no; they originally settled criminals in Australia, and used the continent for prison purposes. Not only did they steal native Aboriginal land, but they also stole Aboriginal culture for sometime. Despite all this, Australian Aborigines placed great value in their native traditions, especially in the Dreamtime. Dot Paintings symbolize Aboriginal value and appreciation of Dreamtime traditions, which captures their idea of “time before time” and has shaped their identity by keeping their culture sacred and alive.
This is an incredible paragraph extracted from Bora Ring. This poem depicts perfectly of the European invasion of Australia. It shows how the traditions and stories are gone, how the hunting and rituals are gone and ‘lost in an alien tale’, the Europeans being the aliens. This poem also describes that it seemed as if the tradition of Aborigines was ‘breathed sleeping and forgot’. These are powerful words Judith Wright used to show how they Aborigines were quickly invaded and ‘forgotten’. This poem is an excellent example of why Australian students should study her poetry.
When he leaves to travel the world, he realizes his unforgettable love for England. It is as though he had to leave to realize what he loved most.

One might say this poem can be true to life. Sometimes one can take things for granted and not realize how blessed one might be, until it is gone from them.
