Think the laconic, happy go lucky, resourceful bush bloke, who could fix anything with a bit of wire or some bailing twine, the stoic drover’s wife, women’s suffrage and the jolly swagman etc. Ideas promoted by the likes of Henry Lawson, the bush poets like Banjo Paterson and exemplified by the attitudes conveyed in Miles Franklins My Brilliant Career. This unit will look at the events that have shaped the Australian character since European settlement and ask the question is there really such a thing as specific Australian values; and if so what are they and how can they be conveyed to the future generations of increasing multicultural diversity. We will be using writings, films/doco’s and music. You will be expected to buy or borrow a copy of “The Words That Made Australia; How a nation came to know itself” edited by Robert Manne. Available from Black Books at $20 or possibly from the library. Note: This course will finish on 24 June. Glen Eira University of the Third Age Page 12 of 26.
