Famous Australians




















Grade 4Wy were very lucky this week because we had some famous Australians that came in to talk to us. George Bass( explorer ) came to tell us about why he was famous and what he did to influence Australia's history. We found out that he and Matthew Flinders found the strait between Tasmania and mainland Australia.
We also had William Wills who along with Robert O'Hara Burke explored the middle of Australia from the south and north. The purpose of this exploration was to find out what the middle of Australia looked like so they could put telegraph lines to join the different colonies.
Mary Wade came to talk to us about how she was the youngest female convict to be sent to Australia. We have enjoyed all these presentations very much and the children did a great job of informing us about their Famous Australian.
