The Dutch were the first Europeans to explore Australia in 1606 but did not establish settlements. In 1770, Captain Cook claimed Australia for Britain and mapped parts of the eastern coast. In 1787, the British began transporting convicts to Australia to establish a penal colony in New South Wales. By 1868, Britain had transported thousands of prisoners to Australian penal colonies. Australia developed a "White Australia" immigration policy in 1901 that restricted non-European migration until it was dismantled after World War 2. Aboriginal Australians faced displacement and discrimination from European settlers for many decades.

San Francisco in California, USA is the financial, cultural, and transportation centre of the San Francisco Bay Area, a region of 7.5 million people which includes San Jose and Oakland.
In 1776, colonists from Spain established a fort at the Golden Gate and a mission named for Francis of Assisi on the site. The California Gold Rush of 1849 propelled the city into a period of rapid growth, increasing the population in one year from 1,000 to 25,000, and thus transforming it into the largest city on the West Coast at the time. After three-quarters of the city was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and fire, San Francisco was quickly rebuilt, hosting the Panama-Pacific International Exposition nine years later. During World War II, San Francisco was the port of embarkation for service members shipping out to the Pacific Theater. After the war, the confluence of returning servicemen, massive immigration, liberalizing attitudes, and other factors (Vietnam) led to the Summer of Love and the gay rights movement, cementing San Francisco as a centre of liberal activism in the United States.
Today, San Francisco is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, ranking 35th out of the 100 most visited cities worldwide, and is renowned for its chilly summer fog, steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of architecture, and its famous landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge and cable cars. The city is also a principal banking and finance centre, and the home to more than 30 international financial institutions, helping to make San Francisco rank 18th in the world's top producing cities, eighth in the United States, and twelfth place in the top twenty global financial centers.
The song 'San Francisco' (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair) is a song, written by John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, and sung by Scott McKenzie.
It was written and released in 1967 to promote the Monterey Pop Festival. By June 1967, it commanded the number four spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. Meanwhile, the song rose to number one in the United Kingdom and most of Europe. The single is purported to have sold over 7 million copies worldwide. The song is credited with bringing thousands of young people to San Francisco, California during the late 1960s.
In Central Europe, young people adopted 'San Francisco' as an anthem for freedom, and it was widely played during Czechoslovakia's 1968 Prague Spring uprising.
The Joshua Tree National Park is located in southeastern California. Declared a U.S. National Park in 1994 when the U.S. Congress passed the California Desert Protection Act, it had previously been a U.S. National Monument since 1936. It is named for the Joshua tree forests native to the park. It covers a land area of 790,636 acres (1,235.37 sq mi; 3,199.59 km2) – an area slightly larger than the state of Rhode Island. A large part of the park, some 429,690 acres (173,890 ha), is a designated wilderness area. Straddling the San Bernardino County/Riverside County border, the park includes parts of two deserts, each an acosystem whose characteristics are determined primarily by elevation: the higher Mojave Desert and lower Colorado Desert. The Little San Bernardino Mountains run through the southwest edge of the park.
There are several hiking trails within the park, many of which can be accessed from a campground. Shorter trails, such as the one mile hike through Hidden Valley, offer a chance to view the beauty of the park without straying too far into the desert. A section of the California Riding and Hiking Trail meanders for 35 miles through the western side of the park. The lookout point at Keys View, towards the south of the park, offers views of the Coachella Valley and Salton Sea.
Huangshan (literally 'Yellow Mountain'), is a mountain range in southern Anhui province in eastern China.
The area is well known for its scenery, sunsets, peculiarly shaped granite peaks, Huangshan Pine trees, and views of the clouds from above. Huangshan is a frequent subject of traditional Chinese paintings and literature, as well as modern photography. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of China's major tourist destinations.
Having at least 140 sections open to visitors, Huangshan is a major tourist destination in China. In 2007, for instance, over 15 million tourists visited the mountain. The foot of the mountains is linked by rail and by air to Shanghai, and is also accessible from cities such as Hangzhou and Wuhu. As of 1990, there were over 50 kilometers of footpaths providing access to scenic areas for visitors and staffers of the facilities. Today there are also cable cars that tourists can use to ride directly from the base to one of the summits. Throughout the area there are hotels and guest houses that accommodate overnight visitors, many of whom hike up the mountains, spend the night at one of the peaks to view the sunrise, and then descend by a different route the next day.
Huangshan is known for its stone steps, carved into the side of the mountain, of which there may be more than 60,000 throughout the area.The date at which work on the steps began is unknown, but they have been said to be over 1,500 years old.
The hotels, restaurants, and other facilities at the top of the mountain are serviced and kept stocked by porters who carry resources up the mountain on foot, hanging their cargo from long poles balanced over their shoulders or backs.
OVERVIEW: THE STATE OF CONTENT MARKETING IN AUSTRALIA
Greetings Marketers,
Content Marketing Institute (CMI) and The Association for data-driven marketing & advertising (ADMA) are pleased to announce the results of our second annual study on content marketing practices in Australia.
This report provides insight into how Australian for-profit marketers—both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C)—are using content marketing. It also includes comparisons of Australian marketers with their North American and UK peers,
so marketers can see where they are similar and different.
Key insights include:
Australian marketers (52%) are more likely than North American (43%) and UK (42%) marketers to have a documented content strategy
69% are planning to increase their content marketing budget over the next 12 months, compared with 58% of their North American and 56% of their UK peers
81% are producing more content than they did one year ago, compared with 72% of their North American and 76% of their UK peers.
While Australian marketers are less challenged with certain areas (e.g., producing enough content and producing engaging content) than their North American and UK peers are, they rate themselves lower in terms of overall effectiveness (33%*). With continued advances in the field, education, and experimentation, we hope to see that confidence rise over the coming year.
On with the content marketing revolution!
2. European Exploration: Dutch
• First Europeans to sail to Australia were
the Dutch (Netherlands) in 1606, but they
didn’t settle there
• The Dutch made one landing, were attacked
by Aborigines, and then abandoned further
exploration
3.
4. European Exploration : British
• 1770: Captain James Cook sailed around
Australia
• Cook named the area New South Wales
• Ignored the Aborigines living there & claimed
the land for England
• Sailors also mapped the coast
of eastern Australia &
Tasmania
5.
6. Prisoners as Colonists
• American Revolution forced the British to
stop sending prisoners to Georgia (used as
a penal colony at the time)
• Great Britain had to start looking for another
place to send its prisoners…
• Australia seemed like a good choice: no
chance of escape, no colonies around it,
and very few indigenous people lived
there
7. • 1787 – British ships
called the “First Fleet”
left England with
convicts to establish a
prison colony
• 1788—British prisoners
settled in Australia
9. New South Wales
• 1788 to 1832: New South Wales was officially a
penal (prison) colony consisting mainly of
convicts, marines (guards), and the marines’
families
• Only 20% of the first convicts were women
• British transported prisoners to Australia until
1868
• By this time, many free immigrants were settling
there
• They built businesses, trading posts, farms, etc.
11. Port Arthur, Tasmania
• From 1833, until the 1850s, it was the destination for the
hardest of convicted British and Irish criminals, those who
were secondary offenders having re-offended after their
arrival in Australia.
• In addition, Port Arthur had some of the strictest security
measures of the British penal system.
• Some tales suggest that prisoners committed murder (an
offence punishable by death) just to escape the
desolation of life at the camp.
• The Island of the Dead was the destination for all who died inside
the prison camps.
13. The Perfect Colony…
• Great Britain saw that Australia was a
good location to base its navy in the South
Pacific Ocean
• Its location would make it possible for British
ships to make repairs & get supplies
• Had many opportunities for trade with
Asia and the Americas
14. Commonwealth of Australia
• Nonprisoner colonization continued…
• Major coastal settlements became 7
independent colonies
• 1861: government officials created boundaries
for the colonies that are still in place today
• January 1, 1901: the Commonwealth of
Australia was established.
• Melbourne served as the national capital until
Canberra was completed in 1927
15.
16. “White Australia”
• Originally, Australia promoted a policy called “White
Australia”
• They would not allow non-Caucasians to immigrate to Australia.
• That has since changed…
• Immigration Restriction Act of 1901: restricted migration
to people primarily of European descent
• This was dismantled after the Second World War.
• Today, Australia has a global,
non-discriminatory policy and is home to
people from more than 200 countries!
17. Aborigines
• Aborigines went through stages of being conquered
through an 'invasion' and taking of their lands.
• European settlers often separated Aborigines from society
• Some were removed from their families and placed into institutions
• Others were killed because they were seen as a “nuisance”
• 1830s: remnants of the tribes in the settled areas were
moved onto Reserves, usually in the Outback
• They were forbidden from teaching their children their language and
customs.
• During the 1900s, separation was an official government
policy which lasted for many decades
• Today, many Aboriginal people do not know their
origins: which tribe they are descended from or the
names of their parents and or grandparents. They are a
lost generation.
18.
19. Aborigines
• 1967: federal government began to pass legislation to
help the Aborigines
• It was widely seen as affirmation of the Australian people’s wish
to see its government take direct action to improve the living
conditions of Aborigines
• In March, striking Aboriginal farmers changed political
history by extending a demand for equal wages to a
declaration of their rights of ownership of traditional
lands.
• This became one of Australia’s first successful land claims by its
indigenous people.
20. • In this photograph Mervyn
Bishop captures the moment
when the country is
symbolically handed back to
Vincent Lingiari, one of the
traditional land owners of
Dagu Ragu (Wattie Creek), by
the Prime Minister of the day,
Gough Whitlam.
21. Australia Today…
• 1986: Australia Act -- all legal ties with the
British Empire were severed
• Today, Australia is a parliamentary
democracy (constitutional monarchy) with
Elizabeth II as queen
• 1999: 55% of voters rejected the idea of
becoming an independent
republic.
