The Gold Rush & Victorian Era Australia -
Stage 4 & 5 Site visit
The story of how a group of Europeans exiled to the end of the earth, and effectively living in an open prison camp, came to see themselves as no longer the banished and forgotten, but as a distinct group of free men and women who self identified as Australians, with wealth and a standard of living that was the envy of the Victorian era around the world, is a story that is both remarkable - and unprecedented.

Federation, and the Anzac Story - Stage 5 Site visit
How a group of colonies that were effectively separate countries, all doing things their own way, came together as a single country, after decades of brutal argument, is something that stands as a testament to the determination, resilience and vision of a few hands full of heroic people. It remains as a shining example of what can be achieved through patience and negotiation, rather than the barrel of a gun.
That such a young nation would be tested in the fires of a distant war so early, is part of the forming of our national character - and no country on earth was more affected by World War 1, despite not having been an active battleground. Australia had a population of 5 million people. Over half a million people went into uniform to fight - with most of the remaining 4 and a half million people directly or indirectly involved in supporting their ability to fight.
In this tour, we tell the stories of how we became the nation we recognise as Australia.
