It is better to be defeated
on principle than to win on lies.
Arthur Calwell Australian Politician
Australian/New Zealand History
The Aborigines
came to Australia from south Asia thousands of years ago. They
were isolated from the rest of the world until the Europeans
"discovered" them in the 18th century. They had a very rich
culture with a deep spiritual beliefs. The contact with the
English led to the disruption of their culture and society.
Today Australia and New Zealand are working hard to become a
political, economic and military factor in the world. Men rush to California
and Australia as if the true gold were to be found in
that direction; but that is to go to the very opposite
extreme to where it lies. They go prospecting farther and
farther away from the true lead, and are most unfortunate
when they think themselves most successful. Henry David
Thoreau (Thinkexist)
