This would have most likely been at a time when the sea levels were low, the land was more humid and animals larger. Although much of Australia became populated, the central dry areas didn't attract settlers until around 25,000 years ago. The population grew proportionately quicker around 10,000 years ago as the climate improved.

Louis Armstrong, perhaps one of the most famous Jazz players of all time rose to fame in the nightclubs of the 1920s. People eager to forget their sorrow and leave their pasts behind them would not only dance to their favorite tunes, but also with the revolutionary gramophone, listen to their favorite tracks in the comfort of their living rooms. Movies that incorporated music were now also being released. Ben Hur, the most noted film of the 1920’s incorporated nearly two whole hours of music in the film, which was met with open arms. The audience could now tell what the was going to be about, just buy listening to the music, due to the emotions you can create with instruments. edit Entertainment edit Transport edit Technology edit Sport edit Aboriginal People edit Unionism A Trade Union is an organisation which people of a certain skill are part of.

Visas You are here: Home About Australia Australia in brief Ancient heritage, modern society Australia in brief Ancient heritage, modern society Before the arrival of European settlers, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples inhabited most areas of the Australian continent. They spoke one or more of hundreds of separate languages and dialects, and their lifestyles and cultural traditions differed from region to region. Their complex social systems and highly developed traditions reflect a deep connection with the land. Asian and Oceanic mariners and traders were in contact with Indigenous Australians for many centuries before the era of European expansion. Some formed substantial relationships with communities in northern Australia. European settlement About 160 000 men and women were brought to Australia as convicts from 1788 until penal transportation ended in 1868. The convicts were joined by free immigrants beginning in the early 1790s. The wool industry and the gold rushes of the 1850s provided an impetus for increasing numbers of free settlers to come to Australia.

Wholesale Ebay Franchise Opportunities Retail Outlets ... Online Store Australian Shoes Footwear at Wholesale Prices :: Shoe Wholesalers Unbeknownst to most people, shoes were not worn in Australia prior to the Second World War. Before 1939 most Australians wore modified gloves on their feet. In rural areas, footwear consisted of crudely fashioned pouches made from wallaby scrotums. The front of the shoe, or forefoot, was usually coated with bitumen and laced up with lengths of copper wire. Although not the most comfortable shoe in the world, the sole was at least more cushioning than Holland's clog. In March, 1939, a Mexican American tourist saw the opportunity to market shoes in Australia. He shipped thousands of pairs of the latest styles, featuring full leather uppers and insoles manufactured from the finest cardboard money could buy. Within two years he had made enough money to buy the Sydney Opera House which had yet to be built. People became obsessed with shoes. Some men would wear dress shoes to work and keep their pipes resting in baby shoes on their bedside bureau. Shoes fell out of favour in the 1970's when Malcolm Fraser declared that anyone found wearing them in public could be urinated on if you felt like it. "I like a shoe with a generous toe-box," said Gough Whitlam, "I have suffered from oversupination and overpronation long enough. Show me a shoe with a velvet rearfoot and I'll show you a man with a smile on his face and a bulge in his shorts. From the midsole of my gum boots to the heel tab of my designer loafers, I am an Australian!"
