Quick explanation of what I'm up to here:

1. Moving stuff across from History of Australia before 1901 2. Splitting it up more thematically than it was 3. Trying not to duplicate too much from European exploration of Australia 4. Pondering how much should be split out into history of individual settlements, eg Sydney, Port Arthur, Moreton Bay (I'm thinking as much as possible)

[edit] About 1005

If the exact number is known - should we remove the word "about" or is there some doubt. Alan Davidson 04:57, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aboriginals

This article lacks any mention of Indigenous Australians during the 1788-1850 period. Yet it's one of the fundamental aspects of the era: this history of contact, Indigenous adaptation to the inflow of settlers... When I have time, I'll see what I can do about it, but if anyone else wants to see to it, please do. Aridd (talk) 12:15, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
