The Australian Wars – Teaching Resources

This ground-breaking three-part series gives voice to the historical battles fought on home soil, as the colonial frontier pushed forward, and First Nations peoples resisted. This is our longest and perhaps most defining war that established the Australian nation.

To go with the release of the series, Culture is Life have created extensive curriculum aligned resources for years 10-12.

The resources – linked below – are free to access and include essential Cultural Considerations for teachers before delivering in the classroom. We would be thrilled if you would share these resources with your members:
