Resource: Canberra Through the Years

Description

Canberra has undergone huge changes – from an area favoured for hunting and resource acquisition by Aboriginal people, to settler sheep paddocks to the nation’s capital city and seat of Federal Parliament. This local history resource tracks those changes with reference to specific events and places, many of which can still be seen today. It is is aimed at helping students to understand how places, technology and people’s lives have changed through time.

Aimed at students in Year 3, this resource can also be used for students in other year levels looking at local history or aspects of the Australian Curriculum History and HASS. The resource aligns with Australian Curriculum History, Civics and Citizenship and HASS for years 3, 5 and 6.
