>> I am trying to put together a list of iconic Australian institutions that
>> are part of the Australian
>> identity and that Yr 5/6 should know something about.  So far I have
>> Royal Flying Doctor Service
>> School of the Air
>> Royal Surf Life Saving Association
>> Rural/Country Fire Service
>> ANZAC Day
>> Melbourne Cup
>> Snowy Mountains Hydro Scheme
>>
>> What others should be included?
>>
>> I am also interested in events that shaped the cultural make up of this
>> country such as the gold
>> rushes and the Snowy Mountains scheme after World War II.  What were the
>> "big events" that meant a
>> significant inflow of people from other countries to other areas of
>> Australia?  I am curious about
>> why we associate the Barossa with Germans, Bondi with Kiwis and Melbourne
>> with Greeks and whether
>> there are similar
>> nationality/geography related areas whose origins students could explore
>> as part of a theme about
>> Australian identity.
>>
>> Any information and  insight you can provide will be most appreciated.
